The Friar Dave Robe (or McShane's Sundress)

Man...there is still work to be done on this, as there is with the FanGirl gown, but it will do for this weekend I think. I decided to go ahead with the raw edges, as I think it gives a hint of piety to the garb. I still need to add a band of black fabric around the bottom to lengthen the robe, I hemmed it too short.

The almost finished robe:

Now to add the black to the bottom and I should be done with it until I have time to make a lining for the tabard...
