Done

For real this time.  Everything is done.

Today I did the hand finishing on the armscyes and a few other little spots on L's dress, so it is done.  It's red linen with black grosgrain ribbon trim, and I know I should really share a photo already, but take my word for it, it looks gorgeous!  The trim really made it come alive.  I had her take home the shift and petticoat bodies the other day because I was just sick of looking at them.

The Girl's last piece was her shift.  I made it pretty costumey, though I won't say totally costumey because at least I didn't use elastic.  It's cute and blousy and it fits.  

I also just (like 10 minutes ago) whipped up a little coif for her.  I used the Tudor Tailor diagram and made it the same lawn as her shift on the outside, with white cotton flannel on the inside.  The weather forecast has now been upgraded to a high of 56 F and sunny, but I am still worried about her getting cold.  I think the coif will help a lot and she'll still be in period.  

The only thing left is to go shopping.  F needs tights and I need stockings! 

If anyone else is planning to be at the MN ren fair this Saturday, do say hello!  (I'll be wearing this, but you can also recognize me by having the cutest little 3-year-old ever.)
