I took my new linen English gown for a spin, and accessorized it with a basket
of oranges and my new Good Wives Linens lappet cap.
Oranges make a great photo prop - they don't shatter, crumple, wilt, bend or break - and you can take them home afterwards and make orange juice.
Short summary (because costuming takes a village):
Lappet Cap pattern by Good Wives Linens,
Basket woven locally and oranges sourced in the Terminal Agropecuario de
Iquique. Gown draped on me by Brooke Welborn and sewn from striped
linen from Burnley and Trowbridge.
Yes, I need to take the cuffs off and
re-stitch them an inch lower on my elbow, but that is for another day. Today is for orange juice.
