It's for my first SCA event tomorrow. It took me 17 hours to make! Woo!

I'm tired. Goodnight.

It's funny, I used to make things like that but it sounds like yours is much more impressive! two full circles!!

There was only one dress I made that I was really proud of, in red and gold silk in a late renaissance high-waisted style with a beautiful chemise and wicked sleeves.. I wish I could show you a photo of it but i lost it years ago. Everything else I made was just your basic wenching gear. There was one woman I met who made a Queen elizabeth I gown all in white with the stiff ruffled collar and everything, all made traditionally and hand embroidered and beaded with hundreds of bugs and butterflies. She copied the style exactly from a portrait I think and won an Order of the Pelican for it, it was astounding.

Yay I know what an Order of the Pelican is!!! :D

At the event I went to Saturday I attended an "SCA 101" class which taught me all about ranks and awards and such. Yay :)

I wish I could see a picture of your red and gold dress... it sounds gorgeous. I'm still in the wenching gear phase, hehe.

nothing wrong with wenching.. it's easy and it shows a lot of cleavage - and we all know that cleavage is what most guys are in the SCA for;).. that and being able to wear armour and drink out of tankards and eat with a knife and their fingers.

Hehe and I provide most SCA guys exactly what they want ;) I had so many compliments on that dress... hehehe.
