frualeydisWe're back from the event and it was really nice. The weather was wonderful and though I didn't get to hear them I'm sure the lectures were really interesting. I spent msot of the time with Maja and sometimes Valeria, but I managed to give my lecture and to finish Maja's 12th century dress. Valeria's was finished a week a go and is remade from one of my old early 14th century sleeved surcoats and I wore a really old woollen dress in a colour I adore. I think we represent our different ages in a reasonable way: Maja's dress is luxurious, but not laced, Valeria is wearing a laced highly fashionable gown and I'm wearing a dress with a looser fit and without the hanging sleeps, looking a bit more matronly. The current king and queen are doing 12th century so that's why I wanted us to all wear clothes from that period for the banquet.
Anyway, I'll write more later, here's the photo, taken by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Excellent costuming. I love it when people put in side lacing for female costuming.
You all look beautiful.

I don't know that much about the late 13th onwards but in the documentation that I've seen, you don't really see circlets. The Maciejowski Bible only shows Princesses wearing them (and they are without veils), so that could be more of a symbol of social status.
That book looks truly awesome. If I had a spare US$1000, I might buy it and I doubt the local library will buy it for me (the buggers).
As always, I love to be proved wrong.
