The making of a medieval kirtle

In July 2018, it was finally time for me to sew the medieval kirtle I had been dreaming of for years. The problem was, I had less than four weeks to make it and at the same time, I wanted to do everything right. Four weeks of panic sewing resulted in a nice dress in the end, and now, some months later, I am still really proud of it, but It was not at all as easy as I thought it would be...

The result was a tight green kirtle, suited for late 14th - late 15th century. This year, It will work as a under kirtle for my mid 15th century costume.
