Robes WIP

Post by Library Guard »

Hi gang,

Here are some pics of my robes in progress. I haven't hemmed the inner robes yet, and was thinking about shortening the sleeve length a bit. The outer robes are obviously made from muslin. No hemming here either, and the right shoulder is only pinned in place in these pics. I am planning on securing that side with a clasp which will disappear under the fabric.

What do you all think?

I would shorten the sleeves 0.5 to 1cm.
And the overall length of the inner and outer robe too.
Inner robe should be shorter then the outer.

Agreed. Also make sure there is a split on the inner robe so that you can walk ;)

Thanks, guys. That's what I was thinking length-wise. I'm waiting on boots and gloves (both this week, hopefully), before I make the alterations. I did NOT think about a slit in the inner robe. Good call.

Here's the outer robe. I will do the lining next, which should settle down and close up the arm slit.

A couple more tweaks and I think I'm ready for application pics. See anything that needs fixing?

I agree.
Please try to make photos were your outer robe is all the same height from the ground around you.
Someone putting the robe in the right Position should help.
