Leave little to the imagination

This is what I'm aiming for with my new brown-and-green front-lacing kirtle.  I'm done piecing together the stripes below knee level on the skirt - over 7 yards of flat-felled seams right there.  Once that's attached to the upper part of the skirt, I'll set that big rectangular piece of fabric aside until the bodice is completely finished.

I'm still fiddling with the smock design.  I'll try to knock out a muslin prototype before leaving for Kingdom A&S this weekend.
