sakon76Went out to the RenFaire yesterday for the first time in a couple years (last year I wasn't able due to a few factors, a commissioned wedding dress being among them). The weather was perfect, and toward the end of the day I was actually wishing for a cloak. I let Liz talk me into a Friends of Faire membership this year, and I've decided it was well worth it. Saw a few new acts and caught a few old favorites and was pleased to discover there's an actual costuming booth this year (as opposed to costume rental or only-vaugely-historical clothing booths). Yes, I'm a bit of a costuming snob, but only in regards to what I make myself. Anyone else can wear what they like. All in all it was very fun and relaxing and even though I don't think they've changed the layout that much since the last time I went, it felt much less like a single long lane.
Hmm. Since I wasn't able to find it at Costume Con or at the booth at 'Faire, though I have been given suggestions to inquire at Hedgehog Handiworks and at Alteryears, anyone have any ideas on where I might be able to obtain a copy of Drea Leed's The Well-Dress'd Peasant: 16th Century Working Woman's Dress? There's an excerpted article on her site, and I'd dearly love to have the entire volume.
