Hi, I have been reading the differing opinions about what to wear.
Hadn't thought about the few snobs that I had run into. Usually, no
one would hassle you. Especially since you will be new to the group. I
have been playing for 3 years and most people have been most kind, even
those who would correct something that was "wrong" with my garb. So go
out watch, enjoy the event, check out the arts and science, and most of
all have fun. Sincerely, theresa

Thank you for that, Sarah. As my clothing is the sort worn by the
lower/middle ranks of people at court - owing to the previous events I
have attended - it seemed the best solution to dressing my husband was
to dress him to match. We already had a pair of rather theatrical
breeches and boots - not Venetians, I'm afraid - but if covered with a
jerkin with long enough skirts, they will "do". (He has a natural
peascod!) I really can't afford time to make the "real thing" and as he
is unlikely to attend any other events, I don't feel the need.
I really am looking forward to it - it's far more interesting trying
to work out "our costumes" than doing real work, and I will enjoy it no
matter what, but all the helps means that I should not break too many
rules.
Suzi
