They were smart, those bronze age people!

I made a Dartmoor bronze age top and then turned it into a simple dress.

That sounds wonderful!

Probably if you had woven the fabric to size, it wouldn't need hems except at the neck. The bottom and the sides would be selvage. The back seam wouldn't need to be "serged" either. The only seams you would need to finish would be the sleeves and the one across the back, but only the cut side.

@@DaisyViktoria the pattern reminds me of bog coat patterns I have seen.

I know someone who did that: she has spun the wool, woven it to size for her shirt and then hand-stitched it. And she made a 'skirt' that way too. Dressed with those clothes she gives demonstrations on bronze age textile techniques (and she tells funny stories about sheep)

Super cool! I do want to gently remind you that our ancestors didn’t dye fabric yet in the Bronze Age. I really like your outfit! But with the blue skirt and green sprang this would be Iron Age.

Thanks, it was really fun to make, and I love adding color! Given that scholarly research including chemical analyses have found evidence of dyes in textile fragments from the bronze age, I am curious what evidence you have to refute the studies.

If you have to do everything from harvesting the plants, extracting the fibres, making your yarn, waving the fabric and sewing the garment, you become really, really efficient with your cuts!

I wonder if this would work on my more curved figure, but I think it's super cool!

For 'more curved' you need more width of fabric. That's the only difference

Very cool 😀

note to self: i want to make this with the seams outwards and the patches whip-stitched to the inside so that it's as soft as possible.
