Garb addicts!

[Kate XXXXXX]

OK, prompted by Dragon Wing, here's today's Big Nosy Question!

What is the most garb (of any period) you have made for yourself for a single event?  The event can be several days long, but they have to be consecutive, as in a three day weekend event...

I'll start you off.  This was February 2011: Masquerade, set in Venice in 1760, a weekend-long LARP.

3 chemises
2 under petticoats
1 pair of stays
2 caraco jackets
2 matching petticoats
1 saque gown with matching petticoat
1 polonaised Gown Anglaise with matching petticoat
1 embroidered stomacher
1 Banyan
2 fichus
1 tricorne
1 Gainsborough hat
1 straw hat (cut down and decorated)

LOL!!! Prompted by me eh?!   

Now I have to think about this. I may have to include both of us in this.

Kate, does it have to be that we made all the garb FOR a specific event?  Can we count garb previously made by us that was spiffed up for said event? 

Either way, I think you have me beat by far...no, not "I think", I KNOW you have me beat, LOL!

P.S. LOVE the fabric of that black & white caraco jacket!  Is that embroidered or printed?

[Kate XXXXXX]

If you re-dressed a hat or re-trimmed a petticoat, name it and shame it!   

The black and white is a linen print from Ikea!  Cheap as chips, as they say.

Additional items I had but didn't make myself were a pair of pockets and another silk fichu with an edge hand rolled by my business partner Su.

In addition to these items, for the same event I made a my bum pad, and my pocket hoops!  I'd forgotten about them!


I also made a silk suit (coat, waistcoat and breeches), a second pair of silk breeches, and a 'doctoring coat' for Su's partner, but they don't count for this exercise.

OK, so let me think:

For a particular weekend event I made from scratch my old "Elizabethan Venetian" which included:

Gown (skirt & bodice separate items)
Chemise
Frilly standing neck ruff & coordinating shoulder-ruff thingies (3 pieces)
pouch
parasol (redecorated a purchased Thai umbrella)

I also beaded the bead-jeeasies out of my "old" rain-dress (Elizabethan), which I'd made previously but had never "blinged" up properly.  That gown was also two-parts (skirt and bodice) with coordinating (removable) Spanish hanging sleeves.  IIRC, I also made a new chemise & knickers for that gown to wear at that event, but don't hold me to that--it was 7 years ago, I think.

And I took with me another old gown (also Elizabethan consisting of overskirt, underskirt, bodice, undersleeves, oversleeves) with yet another chemise, partlet, supportasse, medici ruff, veil, and crown.  All made by me but not altered in any way for the event.

Most of the times, I just add to what I already have when I have a show to attend, being as I mostly stick to the Tudor/Elizabethan time periods, so I thankfully don't have to sew like a madwoman (anymore) before a show.

Sorry I misunderstood, so I will reply here with hopefully a more lucid approach! LOL  

For Costume College, since my time period is 16th Century, I typically will not have a gown from other times.  If I enjoy the theme for CoCo and I really want to attempt I will make a theme gown.  Last year I made a 14th Gothic Fitted Gown and a few years ago I made an 1812  Regency for the weekend.  I always do at least 1 class for CoCo, so I will re-engineer one of my Elizabethans as well.



Pennsic

Yes, I am making a TON of things to wear for Pennsic, I do not create early period gear usually, and since I had a devil of a time with Humidity, I am listening to others who are more experienced with this event.  I have made and am making several outfits:

Pennsic Garb: For Cilean

1 Roman Peplos in Linen
1 Roman Stola in Linen
1 Greco/Roman Chiton in Linen
1 Viking Under-dress in Linen
1 Viking Gown in Linen
1 Green Kirtle in Cotton Damask
1 Blue Florentine in Linen
2 New Smocks/Camisas
1 Pair of Bodyes (but if I can I will have another made so perhaps 2)
5 New Coifs
1 to the 9's Elizabethan
1 Skirt Dupioni Silk with black trim


Since I knew I was going to Pennsic this year, I began making these things since I think November of last year.  However, my hubby has decided he also wants to go so this means cooler garb for him as well!

Pennsic Garb: For Alexandir

2 Roman Togas
2 Lightweight Linen Tunics
2 Heavier Linen Tunics
4 Pairs of pants

Guys are always so much easier!


Cilean  

[Kate XXXXXX]

Cilean, I'm slightly confused...  Did you make all this from scratch for the same single event?  That was the sort of list i was looking for...   Pick the one event you made the most new garb for, from scratch, plus anything you re-trimmed.  For example, my partner would list the stomacher and new petticoat for one of her outfits thus:

Hand Embroidered Stomacher Worn with back sacque and cotton muslin Anglaise
New Gold Silk petticoat for existing black sacque
