I'm working on two 'Outlander'-inspired costumes for Bianca. It doesn't go very fast, since now that it's more-or-less "Spring", there's all kinds of garden stuff to do.
I've decided not to make every single layer of the costume separate, but combine some to help reduce bulk. I've made under bodices, which are technically intended to stand in for the chemise showing inside the bodice neckline. One even has the gathered 'kerchief' sewn in...

There's so many parts to keep track of, and many need hand-sewing, or basting, before machine sewing. I've also started knitting gray arm-warmers and a brown shawl out of needle-punch yarn.
I see that I'm running into the rusty red problem again, same as with David's wig. The camera really makes the rusts and some browns very bright. I may have to dye the finished bodice to help kill some of the brightness. I'll see how it goes, and how things photograph when I'm further along.
