I chose to line with wool for two reasons. reason 1) Drea sais that the shrinerose gown was lined with wool, so i figured i'd go with that. This gown bodice will have three pieces: one back, and two front pieces. Lining is optional. The shinrone gown was partially lined with wool; it is a

I'm curious why you decided to line with wool as well as use wool for the top fabric? Most of the extant garments I can think of (and, admittedly, my memory on this is not spectacular!) are lined with linen. I made an overgown of this sort a few years back, with the outside a mid-to-lightweight

Were you not wanting to not line it for heat reasons or sewing reasons? If you were wanting a cooler outfit you might try tropical weight wool and line with linen for the outer piece and make the kirtle out of linen, only lining the bodice. ___
