Green Tudor/Henrician Gown Finished!

Green Silk Tudor Gown with Train

Green Silk Tudor Gown Side Front

Here is a run down of all the layers.

Cotton/linen smock: Machine sewn with hand finished seams and hems.
Cuffs: Machine “blackwork” with silk thread, hand hemmed, they lace on to the smock cuffs with fingerloop braid so I can change them out as needed and wash them separately.
Rust red petticoat: Same one I wear with all my clothing.

Thank you, your lush green Tudor did come to mind when I found the fabric. =) When I get around to taping the neckline I shall report back!
