At long last the mostly complete captains gown. This is still brocade from SARTOR BOHEMIA 🧵 , shoes by NP Historical shoes ( they fit beautifully ) sewing and medieval buttons by me! I have to say I like the embroidered hood worn as a chaperone better than the bicocket hat, especially in that temperature. The gown is lined in a linen and hand finished. Rings by me and belt jewels also by me. This outfit has been many years in the making from concept to ex*****on ( for example, the hood was made in 2018) and I am very proud of the result! The gown is based off of garments shown in the Giron le Cortois manuscript.
Thanks to my friends for the gift of the beautiful shoes. And thanks to Jeremy McGibbon for many of these beautiful shots.
