The Coat-Thing lives

I finished the "Coat-Thing" style of corset! (check out my theories on the enigmatic 14th century corset)

This is made with coat weight burgundy wool, lined in very nice faux fur because I couldn't afford that many pelts of anything. All visible stitching, including every edge and 41 buttonholes, by hand.

I really like the bezants. I am a 14th century disco ball. This was nice and warm at a chilly event.

Worn with my 100% hand sewn, hand dyed hood


Edit: This is what the pattern looks like. The outer wool pieces are laid out on the faux fur which must go all in the same direction, as it would if I had pieced pelts together. This pattern avoids any bias to bias seams and is very efficient
