Aug. 1st, 2024 09:29 amSometime late yesterday afternoon, my energy started coming back. I feel so much better now!! I even did some chores and made dinner, which I had not managed to do since FRIDAY. Then I discovered a mistake in my cross stitch and I am annoyed because I'm not 100% sure where it was made, but since it was past 10 pm I put it down and went to bed. I'll figure it out later.
I am going to a ren faire next month to help my friend with her booth. I started wondering about what to wear! She sells generic "ren faire" outfits, "wench" blouses and swishy skirts and bustiers, and she offered to dress me in those. I do want a mushroom print one... but I also kind of want to wear my own stuff lol. But all I have is 18th C! Which isn't necessarily *bad*, it's all cotton and linen at least (I will not bring the silk). They've said it's inside so it may not be so bad wearing polyester and cotton may in fact feel just as warm.
What I have:
-Cassandra stays
-Redthreaded stays
-cotton chambray petticoat (blue)
-cotton/linen petticoat (pink)
-curtain-along petticoat (cream, currently not mounted)
-Williamsburg dress (not set for tying up)
-Blue "indienne" print (set for tying up, does this fit me anymore?)
-curtain along Amalia jacket (black; wouldn't this look wild with the cream petticoat?)
-curtain along gown (cream, fits better than I thought it might, it would really just need the front cut back and a stomacher put in. Or not.)
-two IKEA gowns with one matching petticoat, don't know if these fit still
-Pocket to be worn on the outside
-Hats?? I have a market hat and a brain hat
-Caps? the caps I have are generally "fancy"
-neckerchiefs - green linen, white muslin, B&T teal print
-mitts - only the silk ones will fit, I'll save those for a fancy occasion.
Other options:
-start my menswear kit with trousers and a floofy shirt
Sooo many options...
