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.   

Here's a few pictures of my latest finished project!!!  Not much to say about this one other than it's a doublet in pretty green brocade.  It's pretty much per the pattern (Simplicity 4059) except that I changed the bottom of View A with the bottom altered to match View B.  Also if it looks kind of slouchy, remember that this is a men's garment and Gemmima (my mannequin) is a woman with narrow women's shoulders. Oh, there are like 2 dozen buttons on this doublet so be prepared to handsew. It may be a little difficult to see without an undershirt but, the sleeves are slashed and they also detach for versatility.  

I know!  With work and faire season and swords and stuff.... I've been busy!!!  Oh and there were finals in there somewhere too!  (Which, for those who care, I made a 4.0 for the semester!!! And one of those classes was Anatomy & Physiology) I've been working on a doublet for one of the men in my sword fighting group. Check us out:  http://www.thehowlingblades.com/ It's made out of this really pretty green brocade and it's very lightweight which will be nice at faire.  I have the sleeves done for it, they're just not in this picture.  This is a hybrid of both views of Simplicity Patter 4059.  It's pretty much the top half of the long sleeved doublet and the bottom half of the sleeveless one. I've also been planning upcoming costumes for A-Fest and such. I'm still torn between Prince Diamond from Sailor Moon and Chrona from Soul eater.
