I just put the chemise a la reine information online (along with LOTS of photos). I still need to get the petticoat and wig information online, but at least I got this huge update finished. I hope I didn’t forget something!

About Cynthia Griffith
I have way too many interests and hobbies, and continually cycle through them -- paying attention to some, while others wait for when I can get around to them again.
My main interests are sewing and costuming (I enjoy historical clothing, such as 18th and 19th century, as well as fantasy costumes like elves and hopefully someday even dwarves), as well as getting back to art by drawing fan art of Thorin Oakenshield and Company.
My husband Christopher and I spend a lot of time together, enjoying the outdoors and shared hobbies such as juggling. This blog and website is my way to share what I'm up to with friends and family.
Thanks for posting! A chemise is one of my wish-list projects, and that particular portrait (and the gown it features) is one of my favorites!
Good luck, and have fun Rowenna! I was so very thankful for everyone who posted, replied, and shared tips all over the Internet… I just had to share what little I could as well. It was a fascinating process, and interestingly made me nervous until I finally got closer to the end. I was worried about all that fabric gathered looking right, but the sash really solved a lot of the worries I had when I finally put the sash on the gown. 😀
