Dear All
My daughter needs a new Elizabethan gown for our Shakespeare Ball in
mid-July. I have made the 'most scrumptious' sleeves but with other
commitments don't think I have enough time to make a full court gown
at this stage and should think about a doublet. When web browsing last
night I looked at doublets and didn't see any that had sleeves, they
were mostly sleeveless worn over a linen shirt. I'd hate to leave off
these sleeves, so am asking here if anyone has seen highly ornate
sleeves worn with doublets anywhere. The sleeves are 3-paned purple
velvet with couched gold cord, white trim and gold beads.
Also on this topic, she does not like the idea of the doublet done up
at the neck, and she cannot wear a ruff as she is a musician on the
night playing violin. Do you think it ok to leave open?
Many thanks,
Aylwen
