Faire Days!
Well, as previously covered, Beth and I spent last Saturday at the MD RenFest in our brand new Flemish garb. Here are a few images (borrowed from beth) to show what my dress (and Beths!) ended up looking like. Notice that we both had time for sleeves--and later in the day it was even cool enough out to wear them!! I must remember to always do fests in the autumn from now on.
This is a poor quality picture of how I ended up "bustling" the over dress--all Beth's idea, since she was fiddling with my skirts for me Friday night. I love the result of her ministrations. I think it makes my butt look pleasantly GINORMOUS. ;)

Here is us looking all natural. You can get a good idea of what our head dresses looked like, and maybe why it is we were mistaken for mennonites from the back a few times:
I think that's all for this gown. I actually have plans (and fabric) to make a black partlet as well, and will post pics of that when/if I have it. But since I won't be wearing this again til next faire season, it may be a good while.

WHAT? Your behind looked GINORMOUS? I'm sure I didn't notice. Actually, I might have had a bit of a "my butt looks smaller than hers in this dress, that's just not right complex" going on. I really liked the drape on.
On second thought, mine's looking none too petite either. Maybe I don't have a complex after all ;)
I just think its how my bustle/drape closes and pinches just under my butt, thus squeezing my bum and the pleated red fabric out the top. "Accentuate" would be a good word for this. Also "enlarge". ;)
It couldn't possibly be all me, afterall. I shall blame the dress.
Nice Hat!! By any chance, is it the one from JAS Townsend? I've been looking for a good straw hat with a shallow crown to go with my garb.
Love your blog, BTW!
Gia--
Thank you! Actually, I did look at the jas townsend ones, but they were a bit rich for my blood. I got my eight dollar wonder at www.fantasycostume.net. Hope that helps! Good luck with your garb!
