I have a bit of gently used garb that I'd like to unload so I can free up some closet space! Some of it is quite new, but due to a patterning flub didin't fit me in the exact way I want. Some of it is older and doesn't get worn anymore. Though the first two pieces were made a few years ago, they're sturdily constructed and of good materials.
Everything will be carefully examined before shipping out, and anything that looks to want it will get reinforced or mended.
If you'd like the lot, I'd ask $90 + $11 shipping. Individual prices are listed below; shipping an individual piece costs $6.
For reference, I'm 5'3", 34/28/38.
#1. Maroon wool Bocksten tunic -- SOLD
I made this four-gore tunic in fall of '08. Though it's great on chilly evenings and in wet weather or winter, I prefer my garb coat, so this tunic has seen infrequent use. The wool is a good flannel from Joann-- it's quite toasty, comfortable from 60* and below. It would be a great choice for cold evenings at events and fighting in the cooler times of year. Having relocated to Florida, I'm unlikely to break this particular piece out anytime soon, so I'd prefer to give it a good home.
It has a slight keyhole to the neck and some embroidery around the neckline. All the hems are handsewn.
Though it has a wide skirt, there's nothing inherently feminine about it-- it would make a nice warm tunic for a dude as well as a lady!
Chest = 39"
Length = 36"
Sleeves = 21" long
Hem = About 96"
#2. Maroon canvas apron dress -- $30
Made in spring '09. Its defining feature is STURDY. Constructed from almost bulletproof cotton canvas from Joann, its skirts are a bit stiff, but it laces to the body very well. The line of chain stitch embroidery at the top hem matches the yarn used to make the lacing at the sides. Since this is Stell's convertible apron-dress pattern, this would fit someone a good bit larger (or smaller!) than me, limited only by the size of the shoulder straps.
Chest = up to about 38"?
Body = 50" long
Hem = crazy full!
#3. Pink Linen Tunic Dress -- $30
I made this for myself this spring, but I didn't leave enough seam allowance. It ended up less than half an inch too small all around and is just tight enough to be annoying. Infuriating to me, but a brand-new, obsessively-finished dress for someone!
The fabric is a medium-weight, slightly slubby linen. All the raw edges are finished with French seams. The neckline has a discrete internal facing in yellow, invisible from outside. All the visible seams are handsewn.
Motivated by fabric economy, this dress has three gores-- two side and one back. Its sleeves are a bit odd, since I pieced them in an effort to make them fit better. You can see the extra panel here:
It's a bit of a mutant, but still quite fetching. It'll fit someone with the following measurements or smaller:
Chest = 33"
Waist = 28"
Bicep = 11.5"
Sleeves = 23" long
Length = 51"
Thanks for looking!
