Personally, I wouldn't touch it if it were mailed to me, free. And sure
not
for several hundred dollars. I've seen some seriously tacky [EMAIL PROTECTED]
aimed at
the non-sewing SCA crowd (and, I assume at other non-sewing
reenactors/hobbyists of relatively same time frame and required
authenticity
level), and that particular gown's right in there with the "please, god,
make it go away" stuff....
IMHO, of course.
--Sue, needing to go fondle some of her wool flannels just to take the
taint
away ;o)
In defence of this company in particular the example we've been discussing
is in their custom made section, so presumably it's a customer's design not
their own. Their readymade stuff looks fairly good as does most of their
custom made stuff, and they do describe the fantasy stuff as 'medieval
inspired' or '15th century inspired' etc. http://chimera-costumes.co.uk/
