The project is coming to an end, on Sunday, in the 41oC heat, we sat and hemmed the under gown, the over gown and the lining, over 15 metres of hemming. It was a lovely day, doing a task that women have done for over a thousand years, hand stitching a gown to wear, dreaming of completion, looking forward to a new gown and the pleasure of wearing it. Earlier posts on the creation of this gown at underpinnings, bodice, sleeves and under gown, cartridge pleats.
Here a few pictures we took on the day:
There will be one more post on the gown, with photos of its presentation at the event it has been created for.....
