Title: Finished!

Pardon the crappy picture.

I'm quite pleased with the product of the time taken to make or compile the pieces of garb.  Waaaay better than last year.  I sent a picture to my boyfriend and friend who said, "Sexy :p" and "I'm going to look so plain next to you," respectively.  I thought there'd be a chance I'd look silly, being small but looking ready to raid a monastery.  However, this doesn't seem to be the case.

Bracers from ravenswood leather
Tabard and tunic made myself
Bodice from very merry seamstress
Chainmail from thinkgeek.com
Mini claymore (happens to be scaled down perfectly for my 5-foot-3-ness) from wholesale swords
I have a ring belt and baldric on the way as well.

In case anyone is confused, I am female, but a tomboy.

Fantastic outfit!
We have plenty of women pirates, and some women knights, too!

As pretty as the bodice is, I'd wear it under the chainmail.  You'll figure out why after a couple of hours if you wear it the way you have it in the picture.  ;)

Other than that, it is very nice.

Hope you don't mind but I ran your photo through my photoshop filters so we could all see the beautiful detail on your new garb.

Looks nice!
If you haven't already, I'm sure you'll soon realize that our garb it never "finished" but constantly evolving. LOL
