I am a bad SCA member. My late husband and I portrayed peasants in order to just have basically one set of clothing. I am happy having something for all seasons. I do know several SCA "snobs" and "garb police" who must make anew outfit for every event. I am a poor peasant in real life too. LOL Thanks for the effort. As I re-enter this world with a new partner, this was very helpful.

The skirt itself is really beautiful, but, like the elven hood, doesn't strike me as particularly post-apocalyptic. It gives me more of a "modern Edwardian" vibe. As in, it would look fabulous in a historybounding outfit inspired by the early 20th century. Anyway, I really enjoyed your Soft Apocalypse series and it has given me several inspirations for my own projects. I'm currently working on wide linen pants and you reminded me to a cool waistband closure idea that I saw but had forgotten. And the stiffening band is also a great tip. Thank you. :)

Understood! However I may do CW, but in our efforts to get our clothing accurate, the pains we take to be accurate, to get the right clothing and look are the same. I will be getting a deck jacket, however if it made previously, I will probably have to modify it copiously as most of the ones made are not accurate.

I also just got into the SCA and medieval re-enacting, while continuing to Civil War Re-enact. It is like Quantum Leap. However, I am enjoying the fact that as a medieval re-enactor I am on the learning curve (in CW I dress as a man, carry a musket, and serve as Senior NCO or as a Jr. Officer) and am starting from the ground up. Except in one area. A friend who was a Laurel gave me some lessons and we worked on a hood for an Art Sci. I did all the research on the pattern myself, and I found I can research Medieval history as easily as CW.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to finally find a good video on how to make my outfits historically accurate. Everything here on KZfaq is mostly just dozens of videos of Renfaire clothing or dozens of videos only showing how to make chainmail. Thank you so much and please keep up the amazing work

Loving this series! Apocalypse fashion is the fist LARP fashion i ever got into, and it still holds a special place in my heart. For the back of the skirt waistband, i thought that maybe a belt loop or two at the very back (forcing the back portion to fold in, as your interior ties do) for the side ties to slide into would create a bit less fuss when tying. Another thought is creating button holes to weave the ties through to the back folded bit then out again to the back of the skirt would keep them in place.
@OpusElenae
@OpusElenae 11 күн бұрын
There are belt loops? They’re just delicate because I didn’t want visual interruption of the ribbon. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding you. I’m generally pretty happy with the skirt as engineered. I’d be interested to see your take on it!

I love both of these pieces. The embroidery on the pants makes them very special. I really like the hang of the skirt, as well as the fact that it's upcycled. Would snaps or hooks-and-eyes solve the side adjustability issue? They're easy to move, or put in several right from the start.

I don’t find those solutions to be practical for me; I need something immediately adjustable on small increments that isn’t a sensory issue.

"even though summer is half way over"... you so funny! I used to have a pixie cut, more or less, for about two decades. Now that I am a crone I have decided to grow out my hair, just to be contrary. I am now reconsidering my decision. It is medium length now with the goal to grow it long enough for real deal milk maid braids. But I am reconsidering. I do not know if my hair goals will withstand global warming. I do not know how you do it.
