Verity is wearing my ca. 1510 Venetian gown, with an overly-large
camicia borrowed from someone else. It's not a pretty sight. Verity
has been re-calibrated to fit my current [overweight] size and the
gown no longer meets at the waist. Pout. But, that's why she's
named "Verity"--she doesn't lie to me. So the next step is to give
that gown away and make a new one from some maroon velveteen in the
stash... oh, and a new camicia, too, since I lost mine at Lilies War
[long story] and the one I've borrowed is uncomfortably big.
My cutting table, on the other hand, is wearing yards and yards of
lightweight linen to be made into a couple of Elizabethan smocks
using Margo's Historic Patterns. One of 'em will stand in for the
new camicia for a while, I'm sure.

It's that time of year! We're planning for holiday parties, fall &

Night and theater season. You might even be planning a sojourn to a
balmy tropical locale. Whatever the reason, h-costumers are probably
making something. So, what's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today?
