Re: Irishknots WIP thread

The hem is a bit too long. Onlookers shouldn't be able to see the hem on your outer robes. Also brushing the robes may help with it not looking like crushed velvet.

Re: Irishknots WIP thread

Gloves and boots look great. Thawb is not hanging loose at front probably because it's too tight with zipper all the way up front section, but what will fix it is zipper at back and only down to neck which is enough to get head inside.
