We’re knee-deep in ‘Cabaret’ and ‘Rent’ at my schools – so my progress on the coif is slowing down a bit. But I am still confident that I’ll be able to have this done for the spring. All that’s left is a bit of fill-stitch, and then I’ll probably put some stipple stitch in the vines, as well. I had thought about adding paillettes, but I don’t think my budget (or my persona’s budget!) can handle it. 
Kendra van Cleve of ‘Demode’ has unearthed an AMAZING resource for 16th c. costumers – 16th. c costume illustrations done by Lucas de Heere, in color!

Stripey-trimmed partlet! Squee! I need a new working class project…. Flemish is SO 7-8 years ago, but this is so pretty! Love, love, love it. Thanks, Kendra!
