Thought some of you might be interested in seeing a short pleated gown we just finished today. It will be used by one of the participants in the jousts next week at the Royal Armouries.It's a pretty typical mid-late 15th C. shape, crotch length, hooks up the front, lined in crimson silk. It will be worn over a mahoitred doublet- right now it's just on the form with nothing under it.  The fabric is a piled brocade in crimson, black and a sandy gold in a large scale "tile" pattern. You can get a sense of the scale of the pattern if you look at the sleeve. It isn't Jeff's- Jeff's is even prettier.  Enjoy! Gwen

Hi Wolf-The pleats are tacked down at the waist, although I'm not using the usual "stay tape" method. Glad you like it! I wish the pictures did it better justice. It looks kinda flat on the form, but has a really sexy shape on a body. Gwen

I missed all the commentary because I was in England. Good thing I thought to come back and show this coat on a body.Here's Dominic in his coat:  To answer the questions: We'll be offering it as a stock item before the end of summer. I'm currently testing and tweaking the pattern. It closes up the front with hooks. I couldn't get the shape I wanted with a pullover style. We'll be offering it in a range of fabrics and sleeve options. I've got a fur lined one in production right now, I'm anxious to see how that turns out. Gwen
