I realize that I never posted this. This monstrosity is my finished dress for ren fair. Which was also ruined by Ren Fair. Very little about it is historically accurate, though I did put a little bit of effort on that front, time and budget conspired against me.

I don't think I have a very good photo of the back, but it is a sack back (or at least a reasonable facsimile of one).

(Don't mind the hastily cropped background, no one needs that mess. Lmao)
