#41 Grey Sottana with slashed sleeves and layered imbusto

I have finally finished my latest project. This was made with dark grey linen leftover from my daughter's Hermoine skirt and bought a couple of years ago.

The imbusto is layered with wool felt and canvas, herringbone stitched together by hand, and leftover from previous sottana. The hem stiffening is also from wool felt.

The sleeves are lined with red linen leftover from my daughter's red linen dress.

It is again based on the extant Eleanora d'Toledo burial gown and Red dress from Pisa.

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.
