The
Doublet
For this I decided to go for a slashed effect, using the
arch and hearts for the slashes.
To emphasise the offset design of the playing card, I
decided to adapt a fifteenth century doublet to make it double-breasted, with
the poltock showing above the crossover.
The slashes
It was quite difficult to make the arches and hearts turn
through neatly and smoothly to form smooth constant curves and sharp points.
The front
back (before addition
of large heart)
The front cross over
Once the final heart and braid had been added, I made a
right sleeve in blue velvet, the front slash edged in yellow braid and linked
halfway with a red padded heart and left slashed sleeve in yellow satin, linked
the same, but edged in red.
The whole garment was flat lined, edged in bias and sewn
together.
In part 5, I will
talk about the hose and poltock.
Adieu
