My price list

OK, I already spent $20 more than Christian already, between the $50 fabric and the $10 or so I spent on the henin (pretty darn cheap if I may so myself!)

So again, here's the line-up to finish my costume:

4 yards of 5-7 oz. 100% flax linen for ankle-length chemise from eBay.......$28

or....

4 yards of calico solid or batiste on sale at HL.......$12 (est.)

7 yards of calico solid for kirtle (underdress) from HL.......$24 (est.)

2 yards lacing from HL....... $5 (est.)

1 yard light gold satin for placket/plastron, belt, and drawstring purse from HL.......$3 (est.)

some more faux pearls to finish my hennin and maybe even adorn the drawstring purse.......$5 (est.)

2 yards of 60" brown faux fur to trim collar, sleeve hem, and skirt hem (hopefully HL will get some in late summer).......$30-$40 (est.)

poulaines from brands on sale.......$32.99 http://www.brandsonsale.com/plt-2304.html

maybe some pattens if the sole is thin on the poulaines, from Armlann.......$45 http://www.armlann.com/wpattens.htm

stockings from HE.......$22.95 http://www.historicenterprises.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=229

garters from HE.......$24.95 http://www.historicenterprises.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=211

(Yeah, that makes sense: the garters cost more than the stockings!)

braies from HE.......$22.95 http://www.historicenterprises.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=278&c=15

a 15th century beaded collar from Castle Garden Creations (VERY hard to find and VERY cheap!).......$31 http://www.castlegardencreations.com/store.php?crn=73&rn=345&action=show_detail

a fan from Fancy Things Fanne Shoppe (really an Elizabethan things but dammit I'm in Texas, not in freezing Europe!) small and medium sizes.......$39-$55 http://www.featherfans.net/index.html

OK, so the grand total is a minimum of $253, a maximum of $340. However I'm really thinking on the $253 side, and maybe getting the pattens later and just making my shirt out of batiste and making a real linen one later. So I am cheaper than Christian after all : )
