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 ';Peasant 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.

Looks great. Did you find any inspiration from Brueghel? What are your fabric plans for v. 2.0?

It does look good, I lovethe colours together. The partlet is nice too, and I love your way ofgeting cheap fabric!
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. :)

First off, thank you for the :+fav:

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.

So not too much! :giggle:

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.
