My new years Resolution!!

One of the things i would love to achieve this year is to make a life size tudor dress, complete with under thingys (corset, shift etc)
Dunno what id do with it after, probly prance around the house a bit in it, take a few good photos.........then probly sell it. Yes as you can see already i am obsessed with the tudor period, and i feel that until i make this dress, run around in it and feel like a princess just for a couple of minutes, ill never get it out of my system.
I have the whole of 2011 to complete it, theres no rush to get everything straight away, so it wont be expensive. I have already chosen my fabrics, although they bound to change at some point. im just itching to go, lol!
The patterns i am using are Both by Simplicity.


Not so sure on the hoop skirt yet, on some dresses ive seen, the hoops on the skirt can be seen on the outside, and makes the dress look like crap bought off Ebay.
I plan on making some petticoats to thicken the skirt, and the bumrole should help too.
Anyways we shall see..........but in the mean time, watch this space!
