This is my yellow kirtle, circa 2005. It is worn over my gold linen bodies and was intended as the first layer of a middle class kit that I never found the right materials to finish. Perhaps one day the right fabric for a closed bodied gown will turn up, the stars will align, and the bodies and kirtle will fit, and all will be right in the world.
Until then, I'm overall pretty happy with how it turned out. The eyelets are all hand bound.
