Texas Renaissance Festival Dress Plans

So in the fall, I will be going (hopefully!) to the Texas Renaissance Festival. Of course, I have to make a dress for it.  I plan on using patterns from Elizabethan Costuming Page, with patterns from Constructing a 16th-century Flemish Outfit. I will be making a smock, corset, petticoat, a gored kirtle, a veil, and a belt.


It's going to be a 16th-century Tudor-Hungarian-Ottoman mashup. 
My basic plans for my dress. (Yes that's supposed to be me.)
I was inspired by the tv show The Tudors and a Turkish tv show called Magnificent Century. (They're good you should watch them). I'm going to use different aspects from the costumes from each show. The dresses in the time period and on the show are similarly shaped but have different aspects. 


















The Tudors had different sleeves.






While the Turkish had belts and veils.






I plan on using those aspects in my dress. For the veil, I want to do whitework embroidery of the Tudor Rose and the Ottoman Tulip.



I hope I can make an all over pattern like in that time.




I've said all I have to say. Wish me luck!
