This past week we had Shakespeare Camp.  Our group--the "Homeschool Shakespeare Troup"--performed Much Ado About Nothing this past thursday and friday.  It was great fun!!

I played Ursula.  I sewed my own costume, and I had to make an underdress too.  The outerdress alone was ten yards of 60" wide fabric (it would've been 15 yards if it was 45" fabric); I found the fabric on the dollar-a-yard rack at Wal-Mart.

The sleeves were sooo heavy!!  I even had to play violin in that dress for the trio before the play.  It was actually really fun!

The bodice was all lace-up; it has eyelets all down the front.  The sleeves are edged with trim and decorated with silver ties, and the front of the dress is also lined with trim.
