It looks lovely either way though - that deep red fabric is absolutely beautiful. <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-34446305534215981922012-06-27T14:08:11.421-04:002012-06-27T14:08:11.421-04:00I think with the cheats, it will look fine!

I think adding a partlet would bring the dress up another level and would look really nice with the cap.Lindsey Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284703452929020944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-32815504885786687362012-06-27T13:56:43.800-04:002012-06-27T13:56:43.800-04:00Oh, that's a good idea!Oh, that's a good idea!Stephanie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210449948990020456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-62732140614056358872012-06-27T13:44:26.701-04:002012-06-27T13:44:26.701-04:00I think they look fine on the outside and I agree ...I think they look fine on the outside and I agree with the others, I would totally cheat! :P As for accessories, I love partlets!, especially the thin gauzy ones with blackwork *swoon* You probably don't have time for embroidery this year but even a plain partlet would be beautiful. Your skirt pleats look fantastic, by the way!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-9283495065259620512012-06-27T13:13:21.558-04:002012-06-27T13:13:21.558-04:00I like the rings on the outside too.

Knowing nothing about costuming... would it be too cheaty to place the rings side by side, instead of offset, and tie it up like a shoelace, kind of more like a corset? Seems like that would give better support and tighten it up, but might be inappropriate for that period. But I like Lauren's cheat! :DTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-32471339841696459252012-06-27T12:58:49.072-04:002012-06-27T12:58:49.072-04:00I know absolutely nothing about this period, but I...I know absolutely nothing about this period, but I like the rings on the outside! I'd probably cheat and hide a hook and bar on the inside where it gapes ;)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474033571158410724noreply@blogger.com
