More Su's adventures in costume (thanks Jen!)
Today we went to Dewsbury, to Fabworks to buy all the fabrics for our men's project; we were there for hours!
I now have 2.5m of navy blue wool/cashmere blend and same of cream cotton lining for the jacket, 2m of cream wool plus lining for the breeches, a metre of off-white linen and beige lining for the waistcoat and, finally, 3 m of fine cotton lawn for the shirt, oh and a metre of black cotton for the stock. Just need to source buttons and braid (or the correct term is lace) now. Everyone else bought gorgeous fabrics too, so our 1815ish gentlemen should look very fine.
