Torn between two options! ( New Garber Help!)

[scarletnyx]

It's actually my boyfriends garb.  She made an archer set specifically for him. He's worn it twice, and shot an archery contest in it, that was last year. Looks fine this year. The only thing we thought could be improved was the finishing of the garment.  Her work is less crisp than I've seen from other people, but that also lends a hand sewn feel to the garment. Aside from that, which really isn't that big of a deal, the garb is perfectly fine.  He'll be wearing it until he gets actual armor. 

Let us know how it works out for you!

Wow, awesome feedback! Exactly what I wanted to know! Are you a conjurer m'lady?

I sure will keep people updated. Besides what you see in the pictures, I will be buying a Cernunnos pendant and reusing my flower wreath from last years TRF to keep my hood secured ( wreath under the hood) on my head by way of a few well placed pins. It's a mite gusty around here sometimes!

Well my new gown is here, and let me just say I am so very happy I made the switch! The sleeves are just the right length ( a touch long for proper energy channeling! ) the fabric is sturdy, yet not too hot at all, and the small sleeve detail add that just right touch of detail. And you can see more of what Fionnuala's Mother gave her!

(Sorry for all the exclamation points, I guess I'm just that excited for you.)

That is exactly what my husband said! I have learned two valuable lessons from this - never ever buy clothing that isn't remotely hand made, and no synthetics at -all- . I just feel... right in it now. My persona is complete! Muahaha!
