Renaissance Fair Costume - parts 1 and 2

My daughter came home last week, and told me she needed a period accurate (as possible) costume for the school Renaissance Fair happening this Thursday.
 
 Ummmm.... I don't do clothes. Well, other than little skirts that have like 4 straight seams.

The skirts were no trouble, just a couple yard of fabric and make a long version of Littlest Miss's skirts.

The shirt, (which is part 2, in case that wasn't clear) was not so easy. Big learning curve. Lots of fudging. But a shirt we have. Technically it is the "shift" part of the costume or the undershirt.


And with the skirts.




I have the vest  (part 3) close to done, just need to do a fitting and put the grommets in.
