beautiful. I'm working on a dress from the same pattern you used..though the other version. I've separated the bodice, skirt and sleeves. So it's been difficult and trying on my patience.

I love the fabric you choose. I do have a question, I have a bumroll from a different simplicity pattern, It seems to be quite a bit thicker (loss for a better term) then the one in this pattern...would you be able to tell me how big is actually is?

Beautifully done ShadowWing!

This is stunning, what a beautiful colour of violet. The detail work and clear, neat pleats at the back are enviable. Fits you lovely, you can see all of your hard work in this piece.

Lets see, my Bumroll is a Size 14, and 13" Left to Right and 11" Front to Back. It's also 7.5" around the thickest part.

I also used Canvas to make mine as well as stuffing it almost solid.

If you are wanting a pattern that has more separate parts I can recommend Simplicity 8881, thats my next one, the bodice is separate from the skirt thou the sleeves are attached I've seen a few costumers alter that with little problem. Bad part it's out of stock/print at most shops though you might get a copy at Simplicity.com or on eBay.

Thank you so much. SInce I am very new at making the nobility garb, It's been a fun adventure. I know my next one will be in the same type of silk you used. A decent brocade or Damask is too hard to find...drove me nuts.

Oh wow..I just measured mine and now know why it looks huge to me...Mines 9 inches around. Should be a simple fix to shrink it a little...other wise I'll be huge in the back..

I've done bits and pieces of garb for years, and I've attempted noble garb before, but this was my largest attempt yet. I was terrified! Duponi Silk...especially in any color but black or white...is insanely expensive (I got mine as a deal on eBay)

Have you ever checked Fabric.com When on sale (usually at least once a month) it's about 8 or 9 bucks a yard. and they have a pretty good color pallet. And ship super fast. (usually with about an average of 1/2 to a yard extra.

On my underskirt with will be posted the first of this next week, I spent 25 a yard for the front panel...about killed me, but I fell in love with the fabric as soon as I saw it.
