~I decided it was about time I made something for myself after all the sewing I'd been doing for the rest of the family! So I skipped the family pennant (It was going to take too much time) and made myself a pair of "arm braces" and a pouch to go with my dress. I think it turned out more "elven-ish" than medieval, but, it was fun anyways.
~I'll be trying to get some more pictures of the rest of the family over the week!

Is that a real sword?
Good pictures.
How pretty! I love your entire outfit. Especially the lovely color of the dress. I think the arm braces look great too.
Simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My one sister-in-law would love you. She collects swords and got married dressed as maid marian. hehe. this is just too pretty for words!!!!!!!!
So beautiful! Great pictures!
Did you make the dress?
Thanks everyone, I had a great time with this outfit, and the tournament was amazing! Everyone put so much effort into it...
Brad,
Yes - the sword is real. But it is mostly dull, except for the tip.
Victoria,
How interesting! I'd love to "meet" her sometime!
Atlanta,
Thanks! I did not make this dress actually, I found it at a second hand store when I was thirteen - and its been my "elf/medieval" dress ever since! I think it originally belonged to a theater group actually, it was hand sewn but has some professional tags.
Thanks again everyone!

Too cool! I noticed the sword first and those arm braces next! My brother used to own a set of samurai swords (for display) when he was living in CA, but he decided to sell them and not bring the swords on the plane when he moved to VA. Those things would've not been welcomed at the airport!
I like the pouch, too (way cooler than a fanny pack). The entire outfit does look elvish, but I LOVE it!
your photos are so much fun, they have a lovely warm feel to them! Aren't you a Maid Marian beauty - love your blog! xx
Rachel,
Thanks! I was really into Samurai stuff once upon a time too, though I never owned any katana!
Lulu, Thanks for the complement! I really love photography, and so does my sis who took the pictures, I'll pass along the praise to her as well...

Marguerite - Thanks again! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! It was a LOT of fun, one of the best "fun photo shoots" in a long time...

So very medieval :)
And I love the arm guards that you made, very creative.
Do you mind my asking where you got your sword (or rather where you brother did :), I got mine from the Renn Store, but am always on the lookout for good swords.
Thanks for letting me know about the post Lauren.....

Rosie,
Hmmm, I'm not actually sure where the sword is originally from! We bought it from a man who had in turn bought it somewhere else! Wish I knew though...
