Renaissance Green Doublet Created: July 2012  Another use of Simplicity pattern 4059.  This time I combined the button down doublet with the tabbed peplum from the laced doublet.  The fabric is a beautiful green jacquard.   

Renaissance Various Created March 2012 Items Made: All Brown and Gold Doublet This was a modifcation of Simplicity 4059. All I really did is cut off some of the length of the peplum.  The fabric is a brown and gold upholstery fabric I got at a going out of business sale YEARS ago.  It was pretty basic.  It also has matching sleeves that aren't in this photo because this RenFaire was in Texas... during the summer... therefore... hot. Navy Trousers These are also from Simplicity 4059.  No modifications except that I'm not wearing them drawn up at the knee.  They're made from stretch corduroy with a very fine pile so they almost look like they're velvet.  Surprisingly they're not very hot.  I Brown Trousers (not pictured but can be seen HERE.) Same Simplicity pattern only the length of the legs were taken down to ankle length.  Made from plain dark brown cotton.    Shirt So, the only piece I don't really like...

A Man For All Seasons Norfolk Created March 2005 Items Made: Doublet, Pantaloons, Cloak. This was made for a college theatre production set in Europe during the reign of Henry VIII. So I got to make a doublet and some pumpkin pants.  It's all made from great upholstery fabrics and the cloak is lined in gold faux silk.  I wish I remembered all the pattern numbers that I used but I think they're out of print.   Actually, this costume is was never finished. The costume crew that semester was very small (3-4 people) so we ran out of time and the show opened before any of the costumes could be finished out with trims and such.   It's still a lovely costume... just kind of plain.
