:) I have been toying with making a Burgundian. The "netting" as they labeled it looks more like very fine and flimsy Aida cloth. One of the reasons I do not like ordering fabric online is because I can not handle it or see it up close. The White silk was suppose to be for a Venetian partlet. Thinking gauze = sheer,..nope. The cream was for a 1920s but the weave isn't right so I am going to make out of some of it a partlet to coordinate with fabric for a cream and white Venetian V-gown. Now all that needs to be decided with the latter is who will it be made for. If I can find someone to help fit me, it will be mine. Otherwise it will be made for a friend.
Thank you, De -----Original Message----- 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.
