Thank you! I looked at most of Bruegel's paintings and while they may have influenced my gown, it wasn't really intentional. The main thing I wanted to take from his paintings was the over-gown that the women are wearing in the 'easant Dance'. I wanted to make it as a heavier, probably wool, gown for colder days at faire. Haven't gotten around to yet though.
My main plan for v2 is to make the entire thing out of linen and light weight wool. Probably means I'll be doing some dying, but that will be all sorts of fun.
I think it looks wonderful, especially after looking at the paintings you are using for referance. When you make the version 2, what are you planning to change?

Thank you so much. It was mainly the fabrics that inspired me. I was walking around the home section of a store, saw them and thought 'those would be great colors for a Flemish gown'. hehe. And they were on sale too. I just had to give it a try.
As for version 2: I'd like to change the kirtle (it doesn't quite fit my form right, it's more obvious when I don't have the over-gown on. I'd also like it just a touch longer), the over-gown bodice is a little long on me (hopefully that'll sort itself out as I lose a little weight), I'm debating on the skirts for the over-gown because most of the paintings I'm working from don't have split skirts, the parlet should have a little ruffle, and I'd like to do a different headpiece.

I vote for the linen and the light weight wool. You can always add a wool petticoat or heavier sleeves for warmth, but making heavy wool cooler is a bit trickier. Good luck. I think it will be really nice.
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
In this article you will find many thumbnails of the sun in different forms, all photography featured here by the club feature-me. Please show your support for these artists and their work and the article so that more people can see their work.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
A collection of the most beautiful and amazing square photographs I found among my favourites. Please have a look and give these artists the attention they deserve!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
