Dressing up!

[sister_raphael]

This afternoon I had my lovely friend come over to try on some outfits for the upcoming Abbey Medieval Festival. She's still suffering with post-Covid laryngitis, but never-the-less we had fun trying on a few outfits and experimenting with veils and getting different looks. Although she's helping out in the marketplace with me, we tried some working class looks and a couple of slightly more well-to-do options.

This one is my favourite! A few hours well spent with good results!

Your friend looks marvellous, but I can't help thinking medieval outfits look rather hot to wear. All those layers... Great in winter, but not so much in summer.

It is winter here and very cold for this time of year. Another few weeks will be colder, so it should be perfect!

I imagine that's why you hold the festival now, so people don't roast in their costumes. Medieval wear is more suited to the European climate I guess.
