Hello! Here in Maine, we finally have SNOW! Promptly on the 1st of Dec. Very obliging:)
Today I am doing a gown I designed for Queen Teleria from
The Castle of Llyr. Click the picture to learn more about her!
This is the first dress she wears in the book, when she comes out to greet the arrivals from Caer Dallben. In the book, she is described as plump, with straw-colored hair, and wearing fluttering white garments. So, I gave her a empire-waisted gown, with a plunging v-neck and panel in the front. It has elbow-length sleeves, with sheer pendant-type sleeves that attach at the wrist. The upper sleeve is decorated with gold trim around the edge of the upper sleeve and up the arm to the shoulder. The neckline is decorated with the same gold trim. Over the ample skirt is a sheer over-skirt. The bodice is or a patterned or brocade white silk, and the upper-sleeves and under-skirt are plain white silk. The lower sleeves and over-skirt are of white chiffon or similar fabric. Her hair is in two plaits bound with ribbon-the same as the trim. For jewelry, she has a gold crown/circlet set with jewels, a heavy doubled chain necklace with a jewel pendant, and a large ring.
I am really sorry about the poor quality of the photos; I hope to be able to upload better ones:)
I hope you've enjoyed this post! As always, comment with questions, suggestions or constructive criticism!
