Dark Blue Linen Viking Apron Dress

Blue Linen Viking Apron Dress, quick photo while at an event. Linen apron dress and underdress, hand stitched and embroidered with linen thread, square wool cloak edged with linen embroidery.
Quick event photo wearing my hand sewn Viking garb.

It’s been longer than I had hoped since finishing the apron dress, and I still have not managed to take nice photos of it and the underdress for my portfolio, but while at Talon Crescent War I did manage to have a friend take a quick picture of me in the outfit.

Linen apron dress and underdress are both hand sewn with linen thread pulled from the selvage of the fabric.  The apron dress is hand embroidered with linen thread.  The square cloak is wool, with linen thread embroidery finishing the edges.  The cloak is pinned into the tortoise brooches, which is pulling them to the side.
