Goals. I have them.

The list of Garments that I hope to make for this event is exceedingly (and perhaps unnecessarily) long.  For record sake I have itemized it below.

It will be interesting to see how far I get by the end of the process!


  • Per Lei
    • Undergarments
      • Chemise
      • Stays/Corset
      • Panier/Pocket hoops
      • Petticoat (decorative)
      • Quilted Petticoat
    • Gown 1
      • Robe a' la francaise w Polonaise option
        • For daytime wear
      • Fashion fabric Petticoat (visible skirt)
      • Decorative Stomacher 
      • Sleeve Flounces (interchangeable?)
    • Gown 2
      •  Robe a' la fancaise
        • For evening wear. 
        • More costumed (masquerade intended)
      • Fashion Petticoat
      • Decorative Stomacher
      • Sleeve Flounces
    • Accessories
      • Mask
      • Stockings (purchased)
      • Shoes (purchased and altered)
      • Cape
      • Wig/Hair pieces (purchased and styled- maybe outsourced)
      • Mitts
  • Per Lui
    • Shirt
    • Outfit 1 (intended for daywear):
      • Waistcoat 
      • Coat
      • Breeches 
    • Outfit 2 (As above- more costumed/masquerade)
      • Waist Coat
      • Coat
      • Breeches
        • If I am unable due to time/money to make a second outfit- I will make an alternative coat or waistcoat to dress it up.  Perhaps additional trim that can be quickly added as needed.
    • Stockings (purchased)
    • Shoes (purchased)
    • Cape
    • Mask (bauta!?)
The list for me far exceeds the list for him.  I admit,however, that his garments are more intimidating to me as I am not as familiar with constructing men's clothing. Certainly not as familiar with tailoring let alone period tailoring.
