For a Scout Jamboree where I needed medieval clothes, my mother made this ensemble for me. I wear it with my Red Short Sleeve Shirt and I wear the skirt with my Off-White Laced Shirt and my Green Velvet Short Surcot.

Fabric

       Both pieces are made of 100% pure natural coloured linen.

       Ties are leather laces.

Pattern


       The skirt is basically two large rectangle for the front and back and two thin ones for the side. It’s laced at the waist on both sides with leather ties, thanks to a total of 20 eyelets.

       The bustier is based on McCall’s 2793 view B, but the points have been taken out. Once again, it is laced up with a leather lace throught eyelets.

Advice

       Linen is itchy. You might want to think lining!
