Tudor Half BodicE

February 2018

Tudor half bodice sample. Made using silk, coutil, cotton voile and net, in an earlier Tudor style compared to my full Elizabethan Masque costume. Made using the Jean Hunnisett pattern created based on a painting of Jane Seymour (painted by Holbein). It has a square neckline, a lacing panel designed for traditional spiral lacing, puffed epaulette/sleeve head, gold braid and alternating hook and bars down the centre front.
