While I was assigned this project at the start of May, I got a late start because I was out of town due to the <a href=\"http:\/\/trystancraft.com\/costume\/tag\/france\/\">France<\/a> trip until early June. And right after I returned is when I was diagnosed with <a href=\"http:\/\/trystancraft.com\/costume\/donations-and-resources\/\">breast cancer<\/a>, so while I&#8217;ve worked on some craft &amp; sewing things (such as <a href=\"http:\/\/trystancraft.com\/costume\/2013\/07\/15\/bits-of-largess\/\">largess<\/a> for TRMs progress), a lot of my time &amp; energy has been distracted by annoying health stuff. Before the surgery, I did get the bodice patterned, fitted, &amp; mostly sewn, thank goodness. But after surgery, I worried about how long before I could sew again because my right arm was very sore (&amp; I&#8217;m right-handed). Finally, last weekend, I felt OK enough to work on this project &amp; got a lot done.<\/p>\n<p>I bound all the bodice edges &amp; sewed the sleeves. My original plan for the sleeves was paned &amp; puffed, but in the interest of saving time, I made simple sleeves (also very common in period images). To still have some fancy style, I made sleeve ruffs, which are often seen on 1580s-90s Venetian gowns (still in the range we&#8217;d talked about too). OMG, I love these! They&#8217;re adorably silly &amp; weird. Also, they are super-duper easy to make, at least if you have a bunch of wide, pointed lace, which Gianetta did have in the stash she gave me. I only pinned them on (a period practice) so if she thinks they&#8217;re *too* silly, it&#8217;s easy enough to remove them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;

Liz embroidered the front few inches of the top band of the camicia (basically, the bit that will show) with a floral vine &amp; laurel wreath.
