Dressing in a Tudor French Gown

This is my complete Tudor ensemble. It is a traditional French gown with modified sleeves to allow for ease of movement. I wear this gown at the Carolina Renaissance Festival.

The sleeves and forepart are a polyester brocade which was sold to me as silk. The kirtle and shift are linen. The corset and bumroll are made from cotton.
