After Carnevale 2024, I was randomly hankering to make something! And I had this gorgeous burgundy liquid metallic velvet in my stash that somehow said “princess gown” like Sleeping Beauty style. Which technically is a mid-15th-century Burgundian style like this Pinterest board<\/a> and these:<\/p>\n

\"Burgundian1\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Burgundian2\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"1475, <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Complete with the pointy hennin, of course. But I wasn’t interested in historical accuracy, I had no plans to wear this in the SCA or anywhere that pretended to give a damn about documentation. I just wanted a fantasy princess gown. Thus…<\/p>\n

\"Burgundian<\/p>\n

I slapped together a Butterick pattern and added fairy-tale sleeves (probably from an old Arwen<\/a> pattern), loading the whole thing up with silver trims.<\/p>\n

\"Burgundian<\/p>\n

The gown itself is something of a hot mess, but it did fulfill the brief of being a silly fantasy princess thing. But it needed an equally ridiculous hennin, which I made from a pizza box.<\/p>\n

\"hennin <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"hennin <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"hennin <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

I finally had a chance to wear it at Costume College 2024, at the Thursday night party which had a royals theme! A little breeze kicked up, which showed off the black silk veil I added to the hennin.<\/p>\n
