I like dress C, and you could use the tropical weght wool for it. Or the

A very old question, I know, but I've forgotten the answer --
Is the Kinsale Cloak from Folk Wear OK for any pre-1600 reenactors?
Thanks.

Thank you all for indulging me in my favorite h-cost topic.
Euprosnia has her Uniquely You cover off so it can be reworked 10
years later. Love that thing! Not much that I have fits over her
torpedo tits at the moment, but she is wearing a purple white

Thanks for all these suggestions. Costume and dance both fascinate me and
it's amazing how they go together, and what's possible nevertheless.

I don't have a reference to hand, but I believe Kinsale-type cloaks are

St. George Absinthe Verte
Yep, the first US-made US-legal absinthe since 1912. I tasted a
distiller's proof earlier this year, and it was fabulous. Strong,
delicate, complicated, not just bitter with black licorice.

So did anyone see the Today Show this morning - a couple started
their wedding dance conventionally and then switched to Baby Got
Back. I hear their video is on YouTube. No interference with the
dress...
My thanks to all who've given me input. The hardest part about going into this
is feeling confident enough to get started. I'll be getting together with my
sister in law just before Yule, and will get to look at what patterns she has
to start with, so hopefully I can be working on the
Suggestion from a costumer rather than a bride or a clothing historian:
Make the full skirt as a removable separate skirt: attach the
appropriate crinoline.
Under that, as an underskirt, wear a skirt more appropriately
configured for the tango.

Imagine the gasp and the amazement when in the middle of the
reception you ip! off your skirt to reveal...another skirt
underneath, and proceed to capitalize on the sexy moment by breaking
into a passionate tango. What theater!\
Whoohoo - sounds like fun!

As I recall, the information that comes with the
pattern says it's unchanged for centuries or
something like that, and claims it's ok for all
periods. From the construction of the hood, I'm pretty
sure that's not so.

Also have you tried a bridal shop? Any time I've seen a
bride's garter, they are blue and white and sometimes with a little
ornament (white bell, etc) added. As far as finding/making things,
that's something you can assign to a bridesmaid to research and get

Actually, the blue comes from the saying
wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Which was originally:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a
silver sixpence in her shoe.
