Making a Susan Archery Dress
Posted: Jul 29, 2010 3:57 pm
Hello!
I'm new here and as part of a swap, I'm making Susan's green Archery dress. I've never made a costume like this before, so i'm trying to learn all I can to give my customer the best I can .
I've read up on the dress and I sorta think I know how to make it, but I have some questions:
What kinda of fabric should the dress get made from? Broadcloth? Wool?
How should the insert of green be put in the slits in the arms? I kinda get how to do the slits, but I've read that the fabric in the slits is part of the dress and not attached to the under-dress. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing your opinions as I continue my own research .
