Last night and today i spent some time making an under tunic for war, to be paired with an over tunic/dress. It's a sort of bastardized viking dress inspired by one my friend made, though with some notable differences.
I made the undertunic by combining the patterns for a shirt/skirt combination that, as presented are pretty hideous, but as an under tunic, serve my purposes rather well. "Why adapt a random pattern," you are undoubtedly asking yourself? Because I'm cheap and can assume I know better, even when that's obviously bullshit. But in this case it's worked out. So far.
I did the under tunic first, as I intend to base the dress off of the finished under tunic, and the under tunic, after all will be UNDER the dress. Any major flaws will be covered if need be.
Both are linen, the under tunic being a sort of off white, the over tunic being a sort of navy/prussian blue.

ReplyDeleteI'm not done yet. Besides, Robin and I are going to take stock photos at the Harbin hot springs tomorrow, so you'll get to see my *faux* Greek dress. It's more Greek persuasion than a historically accurate piece.
