The closest SCA is almost 2 hours away from me now. If I move to Dallas, I think my sister will go with me. We both love costumes and this period. She makes costumes/garb for the Pocahontas Festival in Larado for several years. BEAUTIFUL beading. HEAVY costumes, too.
I'm trying to find boning or something to use for my sorset. The ties I bought aren't long enough so back to the store they go. My neighbor has a yard of MASSIVE bamboo. I may get some of that and strip it into narrow pieces to use. I'll use it green and have it on a dummy until it's dried inside. That way it should keep whatever shape I put it into. It will take some work but no money since it's free. I'm now working so I have no extra money (extra= any).
