My new Italian 15th century gown, and my regency stays.

 I made the apron yesterday, and the cap today, so this afternoon Rickard and I could go outside and take some photos of the new Italian gown.

 


More images and info here.


I also took in my regency corset while watching an old adaptation of "Sense and Sensibility" together with Alfhild.



I really am tanned this summer. I usd to spend my summers avoiding the sun, so to not have a tan at Visby Medieval week in August, but some ten years ago I realized that I can't let my hobby rule my whole life. And that I like the way I look with a tan - and besides it's good for my psoriasis.
And convincing for a working class woman of the Quattrocento ;)

I've been actively avoiding sun exposure for over 20 years now. I've gotten so 'good' at it that I recently had to start taking Vitamin D. But the Transplant medications increase my cancer risk, and especially skin cancer, so sunscreen lotion is something I wear every day. I even use it in the winter since I live so much further South than you.

Cancer risk is a very good reason for avoiding the sun. Medieval re-emnactment maybe not so much ;) I would definitely ahve to take vitamin D too if I stayed out of the sun, since the winter is so dark here.

The dress looks fab with the addition of apron and cap. I think the colour is great too - but then you know me and anything green.
