There is a group that is encouraging folks to make garb in kingdom colors so this outfit will be my attempt at that. So it will be in the colors of my new kingdom gold and black. As I love adding heraldic elements to my gowns I will be doing a nod to my heraldry in the trim of the underdress.
My plan
Corset- inspired by the dorethea corset. Canvas, zip ties for boning. Lined in linen with a silk outer fabric and bound with silk bias tape. Hand done eyelets and hand done lucet lacing cord.
Chemise- square neck very sheer silk for the body and a heavier silk for cuffs and neck facing possibly with black work embroidery and possibly with hand made lace
Partlet- sheer silk maybe some white on white embroidery
Underdress- antique gold silk dress with black silk reverse applique trim. Trim will be pomegranates and ermine spots might couch gold thread around shape to give it punch. Very close to shape in portrait looking to the elenor toledo gown for shape. Hand made lucet for lacing
Overdress- black silk decorations will depend on time might be very plain with additional decorations added after the competition
Belt- ouches and chain links in garter belt weave. I've never tried chain mail so that will be an adventure
Veil- tulle and Venetian lace sewn to the edge. Will dye it gold although it might be more yellow depending on what kind of dye I could find. Tulle and lace are white so I have a better chance of matching color with dye
Necklace- not like portrait will be more like a carcanet. Similar ocher to belt with pearls so I cam attach my awards to the chain cause I like that look
