Here I am representing a gentlewoman - a rich person - so the ideal fabrics are wool or silk. You could use a thinner wool (e.g., tropical-weight wool) or a very light-weight silk, or you could make clothing for someone who would have worked in the fields or done other kinds of labour, rather than a noblewoman, and make a linen shift and kirtle. Linen is ideal for hot weather! I hope this helps!Isabel Northwodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274085534792134914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73382000944576885.post-52296467870767645112021-08-13T08:44:49.289-07:002021-08-13T08:44:49.289-07:00Hi, I'm Zaira from Argentina, I want to know w...Hi, I'm Zaira from Argentina, I want to know what fabric to use for making it. here the days are hot, if you recommend a fabric for the heat. thanks greetingsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699832249470795217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73382000944576885.post-48453250773408216442020-02-24T00:29:52.342-08:002020-02-24T00:29:52.342-08:00Hello there, hope you don't mind. The way you ...Hello there, hope you don't mind. The way you helped pulling off the boots as depicted in the above photo is rather difficult. There is a much better, but slightly more inelegant way, to remove the boots. Stand in front the boot wearer facing away, legs slightly spread. The booted leg should then be lifted between your legs, and gripped tightly at the heel by you whilst leaning slightly forward. Then try to pull the boot off, if this fails to happen by this action alone, it can be helped successfully, but inelegantly, by the boot wearer to place the other foot against your behind and push. This method always removes boots, even tight ones, very successfully, though usually this action isn't carried out by the lady of the house, but by a servant. <br />Kind regards.Renata M Magierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209290916566946910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73382000944576885.post-30992459528410320102019-06-13T08:15:10.782-07:002019-06-13T08:15:10.782-07:00Just gorgeous.

Sorry; I've only just seen this! =( I took the corset apart on the side-back seam and added a panel in - the new panel was about 1/2" wide from the bottom edge up through the waist, and widened to I think about 1" or 1.5" at the bust.
