Some fixes later

Well, I did all three changes, while having a friend over for tea, later dinner, and Elizabeth R on DVD. It does look better and I can live with the pelatign in front, especially since I intend to wear a narrow damask apron with it, like the Swedish woman in Jost Amann's Book of Women's Costume, that I posted in a previous post. Or this one, which is from Hans Weigel's 1577 Trachtenbuch and shows an unmarried woman from Augsburg.

Much better in the back.

And in the front.

The fact that I'm trying it on with a low smock makes it looks rather Italian really. Still not perfectly happy with the pleats in front, but it's good enough. And there will be an apron, as said previously.
