Here are the pictures I have so far of my Flemish Gown pieces. Clicking
on the thumbnails will take you to a larger version.

Smock Front |
|
My smock has a center front smocked panel in black and gold, with matching smocking at the cuffs. |

Smock Side |
|
Good shot of how my kerchief drapes. Did I mention that this is now my head covering of choice? |

Smock Detail |
|
For people who want to see this up close! I cheated and used Saragrace's pleating machine, it's awesome. |

Kirtle |
|
Here's the blue side, from the side. |

Kirtle Back |
|
Spiral-laced, with hand-sewn lacing holes. |

Kirtle Reverse |
|
Here's the green from the other side. It reverses very well, no puckering anywhere. |

Green Kirtle |
|
Here's the green side out. Bad ironing day at the hem, sorry... |

Now here's a peek at the blue side from the green! |

Outer Gown Front |
|
Yup, the trapezoid shape corrected the hang of the front edges. |
|

|
Outer Gown Side |
|
This new skirt is a bit longer than the original, too. |

Outer Gown Back |
|
Check out those fashion lines! I'll never be a quilter... |

With Sleeves & Partlet |
|
The complete ensemble. |

Accessories From the Back |
|
I can't emphasize how comfortable this was to work in all day, too. Maybe all the extra padding on the bum was what did it. |

|
Pinned Back |
|
I originally thought I would usually wear this pinned back, but I actually like it down better after all. Still, I wanted to see what it looked like. |
|

|
|
|
|
Pinned Back Side |
|
I do like it from the side, though... |
|
|

|
|
Pinned Back Back |
|
And this drape is pretty darn cool if I do say so myself! All in all, I am SO pleased with this outfit. |
