The Saint John’s Wort is embroidered onto the cape! I’d like some gold seed beads to finish the flower centres. Next, blueberries.

Wedding dress sewing week! Already at the silk chiffron overlay pleats. Pinned onto a charmeuse silk corselet-style bodice with floating circle skirts.

Haven't felt great yesterday, but this weekend's progress on the wedding doublet has been great! The shoulder wings have been handsewn to the shoulder, all edges prick-stitched. Now it just needs an extender panel at the front and the lining to be draped on.

My wedding doublet's tailoring progress. The tweed wool is bought from "From The Mills", a textiles family business born in Yorkshire.
It is a quality wool ideal for suits! An entire weekend of pad stitching and assembling is my idea of a good time!

The only math that makes sense to me! Pattern-drafting always brings me joy. Currently working on my wedding clothes!

A late Victorian single-breasted waistcoat drafted from R.I Davis's "Men's Garments 1830-1900" 2nd edition. Made from woven brocade and satin, the higher button breaking point allows for the illusion of a square shoulder frame, and actually makes your body upkeep a good posture!
