Veronese Suit: Completed

Since the last clothing update, I raised the waistline of the imbusto and doublet, and made the jerkin and hat.

The jerkin is made of tropical weight navy wool suiting. The body is lined with dark blue silk taffeta. The shoulder wings (this is their second incarnation) are interlined with two quilted layers of heavy cotton. The lapels are tacked down at the corners so they lay like I want them to. I didn’t have enough silk to line the skirt, but I love the way it drapes with just the wool, so that makes me happy.

The hat is made from the same silk taffeta. The brim is interlined with two quilted layers of some other mystery cotton. The crown (also the second incarnation) is lined with linen.
