It would be for myself. I found one of the doublet/bodice with an embroidered open necked collar that I love. It had a small ruff on the neckband and it matched the front of the skirt. I'll find it and post it for suggestions. I love the idea of embroidery on the inside of the top and turned outward as design. SInce I fell in love with the blackwork, I'd like to try the embroidery details on the next one.... after recreating my daughter's Princess ELizabeth one that I'm waiting on Margo's Tudor pattern to do that. I'm taking it apart and waiting to change it all. It's a shame I have to take it apart. It was all hand sewn, too. Took my a little less than a 3 months to do just the gown. THe parts took longer to find that to make it. That whole process took almost a year. I didn't get to finish it due to weather on the day she was to wear it and moving. She's grown so much, it's all too tight now...so reconstruction time! It's so beautiful, I want her to wear it at least a couple of times before making another one for her. She has her own ideas of what her next one will be. Add it to the To-Do List.
