At first, when one of my BFFs Sarah said she was having her birthday party at Castello di Amoroso<\/a> & asking people to come in medieval costume, I figured, whatever, I’ll wear some of my usual 16th-century garb. It’s what I like, she wouldn’t mind, & it would fit in at the 14th-century-style Italian castle winery. But then, the weekend before the event, I got a wild hair to make a new gown, specifically a gothic fitted dress.<\/p>\n

I had a headstart because, two years ago at Costume College, I had taken a workshop lead by Mistress Mathilde Bourette<\/a> in the SCA who showed us how to mockup & pattern a 14th-century gothic fitted dress. So on Friday night, I dug out the mockup & drew a pattern from it to make sure it still fit. Saturday morning, I started cutting out the linen lining & damask (shhh, it’s poly but soooo gothy!) fashion fabric. I managed to sew everything but the sleeves by the end of day one.<\/p>\n

My fantastic, still new sewing machine made the project go smoothly, & I even made the eyelets for front lacing by machine. The only thing I needed to do by hand was the tips of the center back & center front gores. I let the gown hang overnight, then worked on the sleeves on Sunday morning. I used some Arwen\/Eowyn sleeves from an old Simplicity pattern, modified a little bit. I’d hunted around to see if I had something splashy to line the big sleeves with, but alas, no, so more black linen. All black on black. A gothic fitted dress in gothic colors.<\/p>\n

The hem was a bit tricky to mark on myself, but I measured carefully all around & it turned out even. I did machine-sew that sucker, because, again, not enough time, & this was not meant to be a terribly historically accurate project. I ended up hand-sewing the neckline, turning it under & facing with a bit of silk ribbon. But that was it, done before midnight on Sunday!<\/p>\n

I already had a ton of uber-goth accessories, some of which had just been sitting around in my closet, dying for a dress like this. It was so comfortable & fun to wear. Even though it’s much earlier than my usual SCA period, I’m sure I’ll wear this one again!<\/p>\n
