[Ponte Alto] Patterning Day - Oct 17th

[l e storey]

Hello!

I'm hoping I haven't missed the 10 person quota!  If so, pls do add me
to a waiting list, if you have one.

I'm interested in recreating some of the things I've seen in van der
Weyden's pieces, specifically the kirtle shown in the Braque Family
Triptych on the Magdalene:

.. and the overall look of his Portrait women, like the overdress &
belt in the following:
http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/w/weyden/rogier/16portra/05lady.jpg

I have the fabrics (wools and linens), and would largely like some help
in doing on-the-body fitting -- from what I've read, this would be the
most likely method to result in the folds etc that I've seen in some of
the Flemish illuminations, which I'll bring along!

Brilliant idea :-) thanks for the offer & I hope to see you then! (or
at a future patterning/fitting!)
