Finnish Dress Reconstruction!
Mervi Pasanen has finished her masterpiece in handcrafting - a reconstruction of a medieval dress, based on an archaeological fragment found in Turku, Finland. Since part of her project was sharing information, she has posted pictures of the dress and a description of its making, together with plenty of photos, in a blog.

Don't be scared if you see a lot of Finnish text first - there is English text below, so keep calm and scroll on.
