Отзыв о Окунитесь в Средневековье с женским платьем-рубашкой The Renaissance Costume от Kathy Jones

This is a fairly standard dress design, so in terms of quality I think the details matter. It's very comfortable and flattering and would suit a lot of people well, but there are a lot of small issues that were just a bit off when you look a bit closer.The fabric is very smooth and lightweight, so it's nice to touch and feels relatively breathable. It's a bit prone to wrinkles if that's a point of concern for you. The fabric is thin enough for nipples to poke through if you're not wearing a bra, but it's nice and opaque and no one's going to see anything they shouldn't.While you can pull the sleeves up to more of a cap sleeve if you want more of a square neckline and/or cover bra straps, it's a bit tight in the armpit if you do so. They fall more naturally into position approximating a boatneck neckline. The "drawstring" at the neckline isn't anything of the sort; it's just really long ties that don't serve to tighten or loosen the gathers, which are entirely elastic. The seams running along the elastic are messily finished and there are a lot of dangling threads. The ruffles along the neckline were trimmed with a serger rather than seamed, and the trailing cord running off the edge of the fabric wasn't trimmed or neatened in any way.The elastic ruching starts a bit higher in the chest than I would have preferred. I'm moderately endowed for my size and I find the elastic keeps creeping up almost to my nipple level. I imagine that would be even more of an issue for someone with a more generous chest size.I was also surprised to discover that the gathers running along each horizontal line of stitching on the skirt are all elasticized. It's a little weird stylistically, but not necessarily a bad thing.All told, most of the issues are minor ones, but there are enough of them to knock off a star or two in terms of quality control.
