Phew! I have some blackwork I want to incorporate into a collar and
cuffs. Yes, I will have a small pleating along the top of the collar.
Now I just have to get the ropa/closed/open gown sorted out! I have
both of the RH patterns, the MM pattern and JA's book. Too many choices!
Cheers, Aylwen

the chemise collar, (assuming you have a ruffle), will help hold up
the ruff
properly.

I'll have a look at my other patterns tonight and sort out
the sleeve later.
I've traced it all out, and added the side back bodice to
the front pieces, so I can lace up the side back/back seam
to allow for growth fluctuations. I will use the front
opening for putting on though. I'm being inspired by some of
the gorgeous gowns on Festive Attyre.
I'm planning to wear a high necked smock underneath - do you
think I can do this and wear a ruff?
I'd love to find an example of this showing some blackwork
on the collar and cuffs.
Must get back to work, Aylwen

Hi Dawn
Do you think the sleeve is accurate? It looks to me as
though it is too shaped. In Jean Hunnisett the sleeves
do not have as much shaping.
I don't have Hunnisett so I can't say how they compare
with her. However I do think the sleeve cap is a little
too poofy.
