TRF plans for next year

While I'm making lists online for myself, I might as well publish one for TRF. Christian's really happy with his Pendragon doublet and all, and even got a new baldric he got there that holds his weapons nicely. I accessorized with a metal tube you put ice in that helps you cool off. I also got a really cute set of sheers that are fancy, and they double as a "dagger" when you close them. Got them at the Black Cauldron. I wear them sticking out of the top of my gown - never knew there'd be that much extra room there!

So, basically what I need to do is make 2 chemises for my Tudor gown and make some jewelry too. The gown got a lot of looks, but I think I'd get even more if I accessorized. Also need to find just the right gold trim for the French hood. Never did find it, so I had to resort to buying 2 different floral crowns. :(

Also would like to make some bloomers to wear under my gown. Not historically accurate, but I'm not a big fan of the heat, either.

Christian says I need to loosen up a bit and wear something not so fancy when it's hot. Not sure what to choose, as everything pretty much was made for much cooler weather. Would love to have a corest like from Casta Diva's.

Lastly, I just remembered that I need to make Christian an alternative shirt to wear - it just makes me cringe when he had to wear the shirt twice. Eww.
