Wedding gowns for the nobility and royalty consist of a long sleeved under-gown with a plain neck and a skirt that falls in pleats. The over-gown has a stand up collar in the back and dips into a keyhole-shaped neckline in the front. The loose sleeves end just below the elbow and trail down into a short train. The skirt flares out over the under-gown and tapers to a train in the back. Due to being sick and our hiatus, Jolene will not be ready on September 17.

Mel Court costume for the women of this country: a long-sleeved, floor-sweeping gown of heavy silk, with a square neck trimmed with band of contrasting silk; a quilted corset and matching armbands, both with embroidered circles on plain bands at the top and bottom. This dress took me the longest to draw. I lost count of how many times I reworked the design on the corset. Interestingly enough, it turned out to be one of my favorite outfits when I finally finished it. Due to being sick and our hiatus, Jolene will not be ready on September 17.
