Still ruminating on the wedding dress. I found a

underdress. Late 14th cent.
Opinions from the more experienced? (It will be a heat

I made my dress out of dupioni. It was a simple princess gown with a
neckline drape. The only real problem I had with it was that the stuff I
had frayed if I so much as looked at it so I had to finish every seam. I
tested it and found that it shrunk, so I "pre-washed" it by simply
soaking it and then ironing the heck out of it afterward. I'm glad I
did. The sky opened up during the photo-taking session and I got soaked
to the skin.
