Ren Paisley Renaissance outfit

This was my first attempt at renaissance attire, I made this to go to the 2004 Colorado Renaissance faire. This outfit was a g ood learning experience for me as I learned what I will change for future outfits, like the hem being TOO long, the bodice not tight enough, etc. I Still like it though and plan to change the bodice, maybe take some of the sides off and do side lacing to make it fit better, we will see.

Pattern ideas:
Bodice: Simplicity 5582 view C
Skirt: McCall 4090 view A
Chemise: McCall 4091 view A

Fabric
For the bodice I am using a red paisley moleskin,for the chemise a white cotton muslin, and the skirt is a red broadcloth.
