I did modify the shape of the sleeve compared to the pattern.
The trumpet part of the sleeve starts further down, just by the elbow, and I didn't have enough fabric so it's a bit shorter than the pattern. That's not a problem for me though since I'm short and have short arms.
I didn't want to have an ugly unfinished seam visible on the inside of the sleeve, so I felled the bottom seam on both sleeves. I didn't do that on the upper seam though, since that one is not visible. There I have just finished the edges with a zigzag stitch.
I will close the gown with two sets of strings. One invisible on the inside.
And a visible string on the outside.
I am thinking about changing the outer string to a ribbon made in the same fabric as the gown, but that will be for ComicCon. I will also carry a bunch of pins with me in case I notice that there is risk for a costume malfunction with the opening.
And with that Melisandre is finished and just waiting to be packed down for the trip to Linköping.
