Mine's wearing a deep red silk loba that desperately needs the hem finished. I have the complete outfit as worn by Countess Mencia de Mendoza around 1500 but there are a few finishing touches.

The yellow dress (as made by a friend who sews far better than I do) proved to be a bit too yellow so I attempted to dye it with a royal navy blue. It came out a lovely deep green but alas, with a few tiedyed patches. It's off to the professionals for a recovery job whilst I finish the hemming on the loba and the tranzado which just needs wrapping (the hair tube). If only I could find time to make the bling to go with it before November Spring Crown (Spring starts in September and finishes in November here).
