HAVEN'T HEARKENED BACK TO MY MEDIEVAL ROOTS IN A WHILE.

Stumbled across these while browsing for next year's Halloween costume. One of my all-time favorite costumes was my twelfth-century red gown. That thing was awesome! It weighed about twenty-five pounds and was warm as TOAST.

Alas for the days when I was half the size I am now.

These pictures made me feel all wistful for the days of Chaucer and butterfly headdresses. Sigh. I want to run right out to the fabric store and get started.

Check out this dress and cloak. )

And this dress, this one I just love to pieces. Except not enough to order it from Germany and pay like 200 bucks. )
