AS #40 Camicia - for Spanish outfit

I have finally finished my latest camicia/smock. It is based on the Prato museum pattern again.

I used some cotton 'shirt material' I bought from Spotlight at least 15 years ago? ( I think - it has been there so long). I embroidered with silk Madiera thread, around the neckline. (aslo left over from another camicia).

This is to be worn with my 'Spanish' black linen dress.

.AS #35 Set of Italian Slashed Sleeves and buttons

The sleeves were made from left over linen. The buttons were made from stash crochet cotton and wooden beads. The loops were fingerknitted.
