Garb photos and musings
I aim to have the best-dressed medieval baby possible. I think we're doing pretty good so far.
First garb. Simple white tunic. The sling is an everyday thing for us, but this one blended in well enough.
This tunic did 2 Pennsics for us. I made it huge and she didn't grow much. The coif started out a bit small and so didn't get worn much after.
I also threw together some baby peplos and a heavy linen tunic that turned out a bit too short and narrow. The latter was still worn this year, but as a shirt. Lookit the size difference in the Bea! And bonus pic of cute lil baby who visited our camp.
We were in the Scranton St. Patrick's Day parade in March, and she had a new wool surcote and linen coif.
Lots of new garb for this Pennsic! The big project was a saffron linen/cotton tunic, all handsewn with blue linen thread.
There was also an apron dress embroidered with a boar that someone gave us. Worn over the white tunic from last Pennsic. A bit shorter, but still fits around her!
And a Byzantine/Romanish tunica, just squares of linen sewn together with arm and neckholes. It was recycled from a skirt of a ladies' sundress from the Salvy. Worn with a purple linen/rayon peplos. The fabric was on clearance and we like purple. I put buttons on the front and thread loops on the back to close it, due to toddler head/body proportion issues. I made it big thinking she'd get another year out of it, but she really put a beating on all her garb this year. Toddlers get filthy, go figure.
I also made a Bohemian bathhouse dress for her, but we never did go swimming. It just barely fit her, so I'm sure it won't be getting any more wear.
