isabelladangeloSo what did your first SCA/Civil War/Renn Fest/ ect outfit look like? Not a costume/garb/outfit that someone told "wear this" but the first one you put together yourself.
I still have mine. My very first Renn outfit (mid 90's. I can't remember the exact date. I want to say 95, but I'm not sure) was a lovely indian cotton broomstick skirt, a blue crinkle "chemise" top (yeap, with elastic!), and a white brocade bodice that laced up the front...and zipped up the back. I still have it lying around. The skirt is still good for work. :-) My brain just can't justify selling a piece of garb, no matter how horrible (elastic? in the sleeves?) that cost me $45 back when that was a couple of months + allowance. I've considered just taking apart the bodice and re building it as a corset. However, again, my brain doesn't want to destroy one of the few articles of clothing I have left from Georgetown Cotton (remember them!?!).
...Georgetown cotton is why, every so often, you'll see blue and white "arabian" style pants beneath my dresses...with a lovely sun and moon star print!
