I scrounged some cherry-colored faille from The Stash &amp; used the Spanish farthingale pattern from The Tudor Tailor. I&#8217;d already scaled this up to make an actual <a href=\"http:\/\/trystancraft.com\/costume\/2007\/01\/25\/houston-we-have-a-farthingale\/\">farthingale<\/a> for my 1580s gown years ago &#8212; the pattern works pretty well, although it&#8217;s came out a touch long on me (bad math), so I fixed that in this rev.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, I made it up the same way, just using cotton rope from Orchard Supply Hardware instead of the heavy steel cables I used in the farthingale. And somehow I ended up with three rows of cording instead of four, but whatever, it works. I used black grosgrain ribbon for the casings instead of pleating the cord into the skirt, as is often done on Victorian corded petticoats &#8212; this went a hell of a lot faster &amp; looks kinda cool, imo. A few pleats in the front &amp; back of the waistband, ribbon waist ties, &amp; she is done. This item should come in handy for other outfits too, so I&#8217;m glad I had time to make it.<\/p>\n<p>I also made some random braided hairpieces decorated with pearls. I&#8217;m still not sure how I&#8217;ll do my hair for 12th Night, but I figure braids will help. I know English 16th-century hair, but not Italian, so I&#8217;ll throw myself on Kendra&#8217;s mercy. And bring my pornstar hair as backup!<\/p>\n<p>Hmm&#8230; wonder if I&#8217;ll have time \/ inclination tonight to make a new girdle?
