Finished (mostly)
I finally got a chance to try on all the layers, and boy are they a lot of layers! Unfortunately, the fit of the doublet across the shoulders is not very good, as evidenced by the stress wrinkles in the first picture. I never expected the doublet to be worn fully closed much, but it would have been nice for it to fit well. The overall effect of the outfit was acceptable, though the multiple layers do add a lot of bulk. The doublet will probably only see use in the winter, but the kirtle can hold its own as an outer layer. I'd still like to make some rounder hoops, but that will probably be part of a later project. For now, except for a hat, this is pretty much the final garment.
