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.

I feel like being evil. I want to make all the other snarks faint at the sight of me. I want to hear people look at me in utter confusion. Yes, I think I might actually make my gown of purple and gold evilness.
This fabric, I'm sure, was left over from the 1960's. It's a lovely jacquard pattern out of unknown fabric content. It's that really old fake gold string that's super shiny (think 1960's) with lavender polyester-that-wants-to-be-wool interwoven. It's scary. I love it. I want to make a renaissance gown out of it.the picture of the evil fabric )
I might make just a generic one (bodice with attached skirt, side lacing maybe?). I think I might have the horrendous gold out rather than the lavender because it's just that much scarier. ...Maybe I should go Italian with this one? 1530's? Oh...now that would be scary...

EDIT: I did a burn test. Honestly? I think the "gold" is acrylic and the Lavender is actually cotton/silk blend! It just makes it that much scarier.
