Another green bliaut

I have resisted, I have struggled, I have reasoned with myself (I begin to sound like Mr Darcy here), but the urge to make a green wool bliaut got the better of me.

Unlike my green silk bliaut, this one will be made without a waist seam. Which might mean that it isn't a bliaut at all, since one explanation of the word is that it comes for a word for expensive silk. But, be that as it may, I am making a new 12th century gown. Even if I have mostly worn mid 13th-to early 14th century dress in the SCA the last 8 years or so.

I have cut out the rectangular body parts and will cut the side gores and then sit down and start hand sewing.
