I have not yet made this. But it looks not too complicated for a very nice Rennaisance gown. We love the Fairs. This pattern was available on prime and I needed it fast. I ended up using a much simpler Medieval style for this year. But this costume is so much pettier. Can't wait to try for next year.And here I am again......after starting this pattern. My skirt did not come out as full as this one looks. couldn't say why except that this once looks like it was pleated instead of gathered....with a rather deep pleat. Because I didn't want to be limited by the waist band size on the skirt which calls for a zipper and fitted band, I decided to make a lace and grommet closing in the back ( in order to get in on easily) and a tied waist fitted through a casing.

I spent $50 on the shirt but with this pattern and some fabric from the discount bin I'm able to make another at a fraction of the cost!I want to try out the other elements. It will be nice to have more costume choices during ren faire season without spending $100+

This out fit turned out well
