Here's a better portrait of of me in the Cavalier outfit that I mentioned in the previous entry. It was taken at Atlantian Twelfth Night 2009 by Baron Bardulf Rauen of the Shire of Border Vale Keep. He kindly takes portraits of Atlantians with a professional camera/lighting setup and doesn't even charge for it. I am most grateful to him for making me look good!I do enjoy this Cavalier outfit, even though I don't wear it often (and definitely NOT at outdoor events). My only quibble is that I wasn't wearing a bum roll under the skirt because I couldn't find it in time. Now I think I know where I put it.
And, yes, I know that this has nothing to do with Lithuania ... but I think a Lithuanian woman visiting western Europe would have "done what the Romans did" and chosen clothing to suit her new environment.
I would really like to write about late-period Lithuanian clothing -- the little we know about it -- but that will have to wait until another time.
I love the colors--so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAs for the lack of bumroll, a few underskirts might be sufficient to wear underneath instead. What kind of fabric is the dress made of? It looks thin.
It's silk. Sort of a slightly nubby, medium-weight texture. Not quite sure how to describe it. (I purchased it as a complete used outfit.)
