My Old Green Kirtle

This is my old green kirtle, made in early 2007 to wear underneath my Burgundian over gown. This dress is a pretty ubiquitous 15th century style. I have newer and better kirtles now, but Jocelyne makes this one look so good, so I thought I'd share! She's also wearing my velvet belt and my linen coif, both of which were made sometime around 2011-2012.

Green Summer Cotte

I made a very lightweight 14th century cotte for my boyfriend for summertime. This is single layer linen. It's pretty simple, the most painstaking aspect being the fit, which I've already worked on with him in the past. This one is slightly less fitted than some of his other cotehardies/cottes, in consideration of warm summer weather.
He is also wearing tights I made for him, along with a black linen embroidered coif.

Green Silk Bliaut

A couple years ago, I made this bliaut, a 12th century court gown. I used emerald green raw silk, which I love! The lining is pink silk, and the trim was chosen to be period-esque. The undergown is also made with period construction, all rectangles and triangles, and the brooch is one I found in the fabric district at some point. This is one of my fancy outfits, and I feel so pretty when I wear it!
