Ren faire visit
Oct. 15th, 2012 09:45 pmThe more I look at the pictures![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madamekattook, the more annoyed I get at myself for being such a procrastinator and turning out something so crappy! Things That Are Wrong: This is a late-century jacket, so my French hood is at least sixty years out of date (yes I know they were still worn into the 1590s, but not quite the style I've got on, which is very flat and early), I'm wearing my low-necked 18thc shift because I didn't finish the high-necked smock, there's no trim on my jacket (and I wanted there to be!), and I didn't put on the little shoulder bits (because I did put trim on them, and figured only having trim on the shoulders would look Stupid).
For the next wearing...?
'Course, don't know when I'll actually bother to finish the smock, trim the jacket/fix the sleeves/put on the shoulder bits, and make a coif, because there were Many Wicked Plans bandied about for faire next year, and none of them involve this jacket!
( Read more... )
So...I think I should probably stop looking at pictures of the jacket, get over myself, and figure out what to work on next! Preferably PRIOR to the week of the event.
