A friend of mine just made a doublet styled gown. She used the Simplicity pattern #3782. She did not attach sleeves, just used the bodice pattern. It has a small standing collar and turned out very nicely. If you go to: http://flamescrollofdoom.blogspot.com/ you can see pictures. It is the blue dress, 3rd or 4th picture down. This is my husband's blog, and we just finished the Valhalla Renaissance Faire at South Lake Tahoe, Ca.

Can anyone tell me what the white things are on the shoulders? What can you tell me about the making of this gown?

Could these be diamonds instead of onyx or some other black stones?The pearls are black here, but maybe the others are. > One site that reproduces Renaissance jewelry has this as a white diamond instead of the black square on the necklace part. I'm making this complete outfit for my daughter. Are these suppose to be white diamonds instead of the black squares? I never thought about it until the recent eye-opening research on black pearls in paintings. > > Sincerely, > Rebecca Rautine > > > Insert movie times and more without leaving HotmailR.
