We have had good news in Trimaris. The Kingdom of Trimaris has a new Italian princess. What is a noble Italian lady to do, but sew for the new princess. This page will be a dress diary dedicated to the items created for our Her Highness, Cecelia d'Este, Princess of Trimaris.
When sewing for another person, one must make sure that you are meeting the desires of the wearer and meeting your own personal standard of quality clothes making. I hope I can do both for Her Highness. During our first meeting, the Princess expressed interest in the clothing from the portraits of d'Vinci and said that red was her favorite color. Her Highness also expressed concern about the heat of the Florida weather with regard to comfort in her clothes. Since Her Highness will be Princess during the winter and Queen during the spring/summer with a trip to Pennsic in her future, clothing must be serviceable, layerable, and fabulous. Bella figura, on the way! For our next meeting, I will take measurements and provide photographs and drawings to begin planning a wardrobe for Her Highness. As designs are approved by Her Highness, I will post information about dress patterns and creation here so that any who are interested in dressing to make may have a guide.
