Back from Double Wars

[frualeydis]

 I'm back from Double Wars and I had a wonderful time. We came home last night and since then we have been busy unpacking, mending torn clothes, etc, so Ihaven't got the energy to write about it.  I have, however, posted lots of photos over at my costuming blog, here.

When unpacking I also went through some old clothes and tried them on. This one is from 1998.

Glad to hear you had a great time!

So, are you glad that you kept your old clothes now that they fit you again, or have your clothing standards/knowledge/skills increased to the extent that you want to remake them anyway? I'm a bit ambivalent about my old stuff, and I guess it'll be a slow change-over of both clothes and accessories as finances/priorities allow.

A little bit of both. I would say that stuff made from 1998 onwards I would still use, though I might have made the gowns in question differently if they were made today.
Some of them need re-making of course. But one should take into account that I'm in the SCA, not a re-enactment group, so nobody will give me the evil eye for using cotton velvet and the like.
