TUDOR TEENAGER

Picture
My Tudor -style teenager was my response to a homework assignment for Dana Burton's SOLUTIONS - DRAPING WORKSHOP.  We were supplied with a tutorial and inspiration photo's, but no pattern.  A kit with a porcelain mannequin and fabrics such as brocade, silk, velvet and "fur" trimming was also available.

After looking at the inspiration pictures, I decided to dress a complete doll instead as the pretty slashed sleeves and cute cap wouldn't show well on a body with no head or arms.

"Meg" by Doreen Sinnett was selected as she has such a sweet expression as well as being rather flat chested.  As usual, my kit was painted by Dianne Yunnie.

My version now wears a pleated chemise made of fine lawn.  Bodice just peeps above her corset, while the sleeves extend to her wrists.  Over the chemise, she wears a dark brown velvet corset trimmed with gold braid and gold sequin buttons.

The bottle green silk overskirt is trimmed in gold braid and is split down the front to show a stiff underskirt of bottle green brocade.

She also has shoes made of gold tissue and a tiny silk cap trimmed with pearls
