costumes!

[idreamofblue.livejournal.com]

I spent @$20 and 10 days (on and off) making costumes for my husband and I to wear for the renaissance fest. I made everything I'm wearing including a caul which you cannot see in the pic, and everything my husband is wearing except the pants. I got all my fabric at the thrift store, and did lots of research on making authentic period clothing. My husband insisted on me making him a hood, which he did not once put on his head! I made an undershirt and underskirt for myself, which are very comfortable. I think my dress is the nicest thing i have ever made, I just wish i had straightened it before the photo!
