There is something funny about explaining southren manners to a bunch of Yankees

I've grown up in the mid-Atlantic. Although I'm a navy brat, I've spent most of my life in either Virginia (VA Beach) or Maryland. I learned very early on that anything below the Masion-Dixon line is "the South" (with the capital S) and that Maryland is "still" occupied territory. ( for silly work related stuff )

Anyway, they now believe that the DC area is part of the South...so, maybe the South has risen?

In other news, I need to go to the fabric store and get more canvas. I ran out and can't do the gown of evil without it!

The gown of evil is done!

It came out looking very German. It's a front lacing gown done in the early 16th c style. I added black velvet trim from a project that went awry a few months back. I think I'll wear my green cap with it tomorrow. Feel free to take pictures but y'all have to post them or at least send 'em to me so I can post 'em.

I'm now convinced the purple part of the fabric is cotton/silk or some other silk blend and the gold is acrylic. I used up almost all of the material. The biggest scrap is about 3" by 6". I was going to add shoulder rolls to make it look Italian but I just didn't have enough fabric left over. So, it's German if anyone asks. It goes with the theme of the renn fest this year if nothing else.
