Yay! I have garb pictures now (they suck, but it's better than nothin'. Be glad I even have some). They need to be taking in better light, but as it's just me, my camera, my camera's timer, and a tripod, I'm rather stuck.

So, any of you in this part of the country want to be mad-awesome photographers, and take a picture of me out in a field or in a grove of trees, let me know.

Anyway. Mom made the surcote, and I love it because it was pretty much free. The necklace comes from sanneb, and I find myself wearing the thing mundanely, too. :D And the undergown I'm really wanting to get one that fits better. I think the gal misinterpreted what I wanted, but it works for now. :D

But anyway. summersdream, you don't have to wait over a week to see. Yay!

SCA is too hard core for me. I like going to the renfaire, I might even dress up if I have stuff available, but camping in costume is too much. ;-)

It can be for some people, but keep in mind that you can be as period as you want, be it uber-period or modern tent and all.

(Trust me, that was a sticky point with me, too)

Very nice garb!

Thanks!

I wish I could see more detail. What is the surcoat made from? And what kind of undertunic or dress are you wearing?

[zephyrofgod.livejournal.com]

The surcote is made from synthetic (which, when fall and winter roll around, should be -very- comfortable). When I did a burn test, it burned like poly-cotton, so I suspect that that's what it is.

As for the underdress, it's a modified bog dress/T-tunic, made out of a waffleweave cotton in slate blue. I'll try and get some detail shot of it soon.

I can take a bunch of photos for you, it would be no problem. :) I don't work Monday-Wednesday if you have time, or let me know.

bye!

How's your Monday lookin' now? I've got nothing planned, and I'd love to hang with you!

[namastepixie.livejournal.com]

monday is still open, but I might not have a car until around four. If that sounds good, let me know!! :)

[zephyrofgod.livejournal.com]

Don't see why it wouldn't. :D

Should I just expect you about then, garb and all?

I agree and disagree

Yes, it is great garb, not it is not a lousy photo. You look great! If you angled the shot a little to put the light behind your head, you could've had a halo.

I have more issues with the lighting in the front than the back, to be honest. Besides, you can't see the nifty trim Mom used on the bottom hem!

Yes, I am -that- picky about my photos. You should see the ones that I end up culling (and there's a bunch of 'em).
