I know this was a while in coming but I just found the sites that I used to help me make the rest of my noble gown that wasn't included with the pattern. I seem to have had a glitch and lost all my bookmarks near the end of my project along with my 19" LCD monitor frying on me. Also I'd like to thank all those who helped me along the way, without you I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I did.

For the partlet I used Adapting the Elizabethan Lady's Wardrobe Patterns for Lower Class Use. I loved the ease of working with the pattern and instructions. I used my serger to form the casings for the tie to go through. The only thing I sewed on was seam binding down the front edges and top stitched the collar, everything else was serged. Did I mention I was in a hurry to finish it. I had less than an hour to complete it, the bummroll and get ready. I used a hook and eye closure at the collar and a shoelace for the tie at the bottom.

For the Farthingale I used the Making a Period Farthingale demo. I had issues with my farthingale as you can see from my previous posts but I know that was completely my fault and my fault alone. I used The Farthingale Calcualtor to get the desired size for my hoops in the end. For my next farthingale I think I will try The Renaissance Tailor's version just to try it. Thanks goes out to [info]dame_eleanor  and [info]katexxxxxx  for helping me fix the issues with my farthingale. Final Results

For the Ruff I used Constructing Elizabethan Ruffs as my guide and the help of [info]serenalyons , [info]myladyswardrobe  and [info]katexxxxxx  after my disastrous first attempt. And since I now know how to make a ruff I'll be using The Ruff Calculator to make ruffs now. I used spray starch and an old curling iron to get the pleated lines out and then I pinned each "8" to the next one and sprayed some more starch. I went with the thought that you can't have too much starch. Final Results

For the caul I used Constructing an Elizabethan Caul/Muffin Cap. I made the band on mine a little smaller than I wanted but I didn't have enough fabric to make a bigger bias band. In the end after pinning it to my hair, it looked the way I wanted it to. Original Post

For the Smock I used Elizabethan Smock Pattern Generator and I loved the results, it fit like a dream. In fact I've been thinking of making a night shift for myself using the pattern this gave me.

For the flat cap I used The renaissance Tailor's demo. I was originally going to use this demo for a tall hat but I really wanted to use the same materials as she did. Even the oversized hat I made came together nicely and easily. Thanks to [info]myladyswardrobe  for the help. Second Hat Completed. Making of the First Hat.

For the Stays I used Custom Corset Pattern Generator I love the stays and am planning on making another pair for myself using the pattern from this again. Origianl Post
