Random Question for the Day

[ciarnait]

So this pic was posted on sca_garb. I have shamelessly swiped it to ask a question. Would this idea fall into the same category as Skapti's coat that Mistress Ariel did such a wonderful job on? I wish I had a pic of it.... Really kinda cool looking, but not documentable? I think the Celt in me finds the embellishment irresistable.......

I think it's lovely.

There's this one that Laurellen did: http://www.vertetsable.com/pix/skeptitunic.jpg

She even mentions where she got the inspiration from. :)

Wow...I have no idea if it's period or not, but oh my gosh those are beautiful...

...me thinks I need some new garb...

My guess would be that this is where "creative anachronism" part comes in. ;> Pretty and fun, though!

I don't think they would have decorated the apron dress but the caftan/coat would have been acceptable. I am trying to research it so I can make my apron dress...when I have time.

Hey, the lady on the right in that photo is Duchess Anna Ophelia Holloway Tarragon. Marcus and I were on her retinue when Amazon upped moved us from the East Kingdom to here. She's a super, super nice person, and I know how she can be reached. Would you like me to try?

Really, really not period. The norse just didn't do this for, oh so many reasons which I can go into if you want.

It is, however, SCA cool. :)
