As said a post or two ago, I’ve been planning for a year to make this green outfit for the upcoming faire season.

The plan includes:

• my linen shift and partlet (already made for last year’s faire outfit)
• black wool fitted kirtle (potentially with satin or velvet ribbon guards, but I haven’t decided and I doubt I’ll have time)
• green doublet gown, with rusty orange velvet trim
• commission a hat from Truly Carmichael (I should get on doing this soon)
• Ruffs from the Renaissance Tailor (there is no way I’ll have time to make my own. Sense a theme here?)
