Centuries-Sewing Historical Costumes and Clothing

Early 14th that turned into 15th Century Kirtle

Seamstresses sewing smocks or linen goods? Tacuina Sanitatis, Wikipedia

Family medical things have kept me from sewing but I’ve managed to work a little bit on this, here are some work in progress photos.

It still needs some work. The shoulders need to come up about 1/2 an inch to an inch, armscye needs to get cut down, sleeves reset after that, eyelets, hem evened and bound, small wedge added to the side seams to give me enough room in the bust, neckline needs to be wider and come down more.

    Beautiful! I love this.
    It is wonderful to see skillful people make medieval clothes. Intriguing. And so interesting due to the construction methods used, and the lines these clothes produce. Wonderful.
