My Ren Garb

Ok.. so the background in this picture isnt renistic.. soon I will get a better picture and also Im in the process of making another set of garb. This is my first attempt of making garb... and I am new at this so.. bear with me.. I know what I did wrong on this one.. the shirt sleeves are too short and the shirt needs to be a cotton or something that isnt shinny :). My next one Im thinking of doing the skirt seperate from the corset and making it a different material. Or another idea is making it a lesser class material and adding a cape. I'm also wanting to make some leather shoes from the period.. not the cloth covered shoes I made for this dress. I've also been reading that the ladies had their hair up.. I also made the mistake of going to the Ren faire with my hair down and not realy knowing much of the "rules" they go by for the period.



I made this all by hand in 5 days. I made this origionly for Day Camp we have here in town for the week of renaisaunce week.
