I wasn't sure how to create a personna and what to do about making it correctly. Can you look at the sketch I posted in Becky's Iron Dress folder? Please tell me if you think that sketch fits what I want. I like it anyway but want to design one for a specific class. I'll be using my blackwork smock since it's so beautiful. I don't know about my farthingale from my noblity gown. I think it sticks out too far for middle class, from what I've read. I'm starting a diary of my progress but not online. I have photos. I have some wonderful red linen and black linen for the trim. I wanted to make my own braided trim to go on top of the black down the front. It would add some detail with out looking as fancy as my other gown. It's definitely nobility class. I want it above the peasant gown but not noblity.
