Okay, okay.... so at my core I'm really to *girlie* to wear a lads rig ALL the time,,,,
To remedy this... I've had a bodice, skirt and top made that will do nothing but compliment my aforementioned Barbossa coat.
For Pirate Faires and events I would not be wearing the stand-up collar of course... that is an option for Halloween fun! (Kind of a cross between a Disney wicked Step-mother and a Pirate) But it does have ribbon ties that go over the shoulder. The strong boning in all the seams makes it stay in place without the benefit of anything if I am so inclined however so on hot days...
This picture shows an underskirt but I intend to wear it with the striped petal skirt and just bloomers... bucket boots optional.
Pirate reality? Of course not! Pirate fun for an old Lady that won't act her age?
Anyway.. you think it will go with the coat?
