I made some progress on the overdress today. I sewed the back sides to the back middle. Now I just need to sew the front to the back and hem everything.
I have several different fabrics with coordinating colors. I’m thinking about making a Renaissance skirt from two and a vest from another. The only thing is, the red linen would also be perfect for dress sleeves. So I’ll have to make up my mind at some point. I’m leaning toward the skirt. I want to make it with something I don’t care about as much as the jacquard to see if the size works, and then do it in the jacquard and whatever fabric my sister chooses.
Eventually (after make the Renaissance costumes for my younger sister and I) I want to make version D of McCall’s M4490 with the main part dark blue, the sleeves white, and the sleeve lining light blue. This is my current top priority of the future, which is subject to change.

God bless!
