We had a second fitting on Tuesday, and started putting together the various items that will make up Greensleeves’ outfit. It was wonderful to see everything coming together!
First, a red wool petticoat “of the best” by Constance Mackenzie
Then a boned bumroll made by Ninya Mikhaila, and a sleeve “with gold embrodered gorgeously” by Juliet Braidwood.
Next, Ninya fitted the top half of Greensleeves’ wonderfully green silk satin gown with “sleeues of Satten hanging by”. Ninya has stamped the satin, and added a trim of gold lace on green velvet as decoration. There are piccadils at the neck.
and pinned on the skirt.
The front of the gown, and the linen kercher “wrought fine and gallantly” by Sarah Thursfield.
