I have 1yd x 44" white silk gauze. What pre 1600s item can I make of it
other than a partlet?
I have 2yds x 44" cream silk netting. A portion of it will be for a
partlet
to go with a cream pre- 1600s gown. What would you make with 2 yds of silk
netting?
De
You could make a little butterfly veil to go with one of those 'flowerpot'
hennins from the latter half of the 15th century.
As for the silk netting, even though I also have nowhere to wear anything
other
than pre-1600's, I would save it up towards making an Edwardian evening
dress - one of those with multiple layers of satin and lace and net and
hideous
complicated fastenings.
