Mom's coat is looking a lot better. I had to cut out some more inches on the sides but now it should fit properly. I still haven't found the silver buttons but I did find 50 copper buttons that will work a lot better. They have Hadrian on them not that anyone will notice. Mom loves ancient Roman history so these will work a lot better. Not perfect for a 16th c outfit, true, but they are perfect for Mom. Besides, from a foot away all anyone will see are some nice copper buttons with some sort of design. I'm adding the green velvet trim tomorrow night and then the buttons. I should have a picture up Thursday of the coat.

If anyone remembers my hand sewn early 16th c Italian that got watermarked from the Pennsic rains, I finally have a solution. I bought magenta/teal crossweave silk organza to go as an overlayer for the skirt. The dress is a magenta/teal crossweave silk broadcloth so it should mesh nicely. This will hide the watermarks so I can wear the dress again.

Hopefully, the guy with the trailer out in western Maryland will email me back soon. He has a couple of trailers and I'm hoping to get one of them. I found him on craigslist.
