I had to wait a month for the La’ Mode Bagatelle’s Artistic Reform Gown Pattern. Once that arrived I got around to the idea of what I wanted to make and what fabrics to use, I have some black velvet previously brought so that will form the basis for my first under dress and so I headed to ebay for some thick velour fabric for my first over gown. I am really enjoying the freedom to not have to use period appropriate fabric like I did when re-enacting, instead I am using Nordic wind climate appropriate fabrics, the over gown will be to keep out the cold and have enough sweep as it goes down to wrap around my legs when it gets cold, these are my first Artistic reform costumes.
