on a creative SCAdian note, Renaissance Turkish project

[rengal]

I have had a lot of emotional crazy times lately. Really, that's life and I wouldn't have it any other way. --and I look forward to experiencing it all, good and bad. I love the experience, and although it scares me _a lot_ sometimes, I really love being alive and am grateful for it

Renaissance Swedish Clothing

I am having absolutely no luck finding stuff about what gals in Sweden wore in the later middle Ages and Renaissance. I've put the word out, and we'll see if anything comes back.
Here is a really good little excerpt from a book about a squeens extent garments:

If we don't find any cool images, the best we might be able to do is look at surrounding countries.

This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing. I love it all. Also, here is a great site for costumes and photography, though it may not necessarily be Turkish stuff. I would love his garb, but I don't know what to call it. I would totally wear that.

Thanks again, Bill

Way cool! Now that's retro influence done right. Which ones interested you the most?

[giveawayboy]

Which ones? Of hers or yours? You see, I couldn't view the page of photos you shared, I only saw the two pictures in your lj entry. I don't know why the other page didn't work.

Sorry. I'm not sure I have a favorite of hers though. I think it's a tossup between Scarlet and Une Belle Fille.

Tchau!

I liked those ones, too. So very glam harkening to the 30s, but still very playful and full of color.

I saw the picture of your little one ine the naturalbirth community and simply have to say that it's undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous newborn babies I've ever seen :)
