School work

As I earlier stated, I study theater costuming at Savonlinna, Finland. One of the assigments I was eagerly waiting from the first day of school was to make a historical gown. After long consideration I decided to make a mid 16th century "Tudor dress". It's still missing few things here and there but I thought I'd post some pics of it already.

Standard school outfit

"Does my butt look big in this?"


Outfit consists of smock/shift (the undershirt closest to skin), corset, spanish farthingale, petticoat, kirtle, foresleeves, gown, girdle, some jewelry and french hood. It takes a good while to get into this outfit and you need somebody to help you. But it's very comfy (believe or not) and makes you feel quite regal. :D
