Very skilful Janey..the colours compliment each other perfectly !

Clever you Janey , she looks a picture .. i,m sure she will enjoy tomorrow and be the envy of the class :o)

My grandson was also having a Tudor day a couple of weeks ago , I had to scrounge an old grey blanket to make him a Tabbard and an apron plus a collarless shirt etc . for his school day out at Kennelworth hall in Suffolk .. I soon found out that its very difficult to get hold of blankets these days , we will have to save the outfit for future does .. :o)

~fantastic job~ well done!

Very beautiful both the gown and your grandaughter.

Janey it looks fav, well done.

Aw...thanks everyone! It turned out better than I thought...Lol!

Its lovely janey...........

It's fantastic! She looks absolutely great in it, and so pretty. Well done, I could never have done something like this in a million years. It took me three years of home economics lessons to make a pinny. I hope they give out prizes, surely she'll win first prize!

It looks great.....do you do menswear?

Well done Janey she looks lovely..........

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments......she had a great day....and came 1st in the costume competition, prize being a lolly....Lol!.....I'm sure they all looked greatand I loved making it which was half the chore.....:o)

Janey, that is gorgeous, that is my favourite period of history, it fascinates me! She really does look a picture, well done and I am so glad she won, you both deserved to.

Thanks Pam......Yes I love it too....can't wait till the Tudors are back on the telly......me and my daughter Katherine are riveted when its on.....Lol!

my daughter Lilly is off to a festival with a group of friends. they have set themselves up as a street performers. they have several different performances (just silly things to make people smile) one of which is a rubbish fashion show. we have spent the week makin clothing from carrier bags and gaffa tape...lol

Janey - it is a brilliant costume, but you know that now the standard is set great things are going to be expected for the next event!! (Elizabethan ruffs and paniers?, Revolutionary Paris? - lets hope the school do the Romans again!)

Wel done Janey , I,m so pleased Chloe ( and you ) won first prize .. you both deserved it :o)

Good luck to Lilly Sandra...it sounds as if it will be great fun!!
Will you be able to see them?
He...he Ducky, Romans would be much easier...Lol! A length of cloth and some grapes....:o)
Amy....XX

i hope to go to the festival with them but very bust at the mo....but i'm sure she will take loads of photos..

Hope you can make it there Sandra.....it would be lovely for you to see them....:o)
Thanks Avis...that neck was a killer...hence the rose just underneath.....Lol!!

It looks wonderful! I couldn't do that in a million years... well done, you! :-)

Don't know how I missed this one Janey....its all been said, but well done and congrats to all.....xx

Thanks Spritz and Alice........thats very kind! Took me back to my school days, we had to make a mini dress in black and white (lined of course!) and a spring suit when I was 14.....pleased I remembered how to do tailor's tacks......Lol!!

You have talent !!!
The fabric and colours look perfect for the period too, how did you manage that !!! :))

Ha..ha Louise........ the green was a pair of new curtains given to me but didn't go anywhere, but I kept them cos I liked the design with the deer and trees and elephants....then this came up and they were just perfect for it with the gold.....:o) Then I saw the same material in a fabric shop and it was £17.99 a metre, so I liked it even better!

LOL :)))
