  1. Sterling's Archangel's, whose goin' Hollywood now? (The Charlie's Angels style shadow picture is very funny!) Skittles came up with that... brilliant what? Some of the crewe's "officers" have it on their t shirts..
  2. As always the number one question is..what type of look are you going for? Hollywood/fantasy or historical/accuracy?
  3. Then does that mean that groups should not have standards?? and that anything should be allowed in every group? just wondering here folks
  4. Am I reading that correctly, Aug. 8? on a Wednesday?
  5. Good question, and have no clue... now men could wear their banyans within their shops and actually go to other shops within their close area as long as they were "equals"... ie... I would never wear my banyan when calling upon my better...
  6. 1720s embroidered jumps Jumps: "Type of underbodice worn by women, usually fitted to the bust; often used instead of stays. From 1740 on commonly used in plural form ( a pair of jumps) An Elegant Art, pg. 229 Jumps : Woman's soft bodice without boning, usually worn at home instead of a corset... Revolution in Fashion 1715-1815 pg 162
  7. Not to worry, her husband does not frequent the Pub!
  8. out of how many total? Last I counted "your" crew has done 4 events total in their 1 year of existence. (Don't you love statistics ) Actually crew members have attended 9, no not every member of the crew, but if we are going to count... and am I to assume by the use of "your" crew that you no longer count yourself a member?
  9. Okay bodices and sleeves but not corsets? Question, any chance that these rings were called something other than metal eyelets, as the only info I am finding on metal eyelets regarding corsets is their appearance in 1828.
  10. I believe either Foxe or someone else did speak about this for reinforcing canvas, but I haven't heard Kass speak about it being common for ladies' corset...
  11. But this isn't Twill, so being 1690-1720 correct isn't the goal of the thread. For fantasy garb grommets are great, fast & cheap. Aye I certainly agree with you in regards to the placement of the thread... but no one in my crew better be wearing fantasy garb unless they are attending a fantasy event... our goal is pc first, fantasy WAAAAYY after that...I think we have attended two fantasy events only so far... and no, not everyone in the crew is pc just yet, but I would much rather see them working on getting it correct first... I cannot see people wasting money on fantasy garb first as it will not hold at LH events...
  12. Sterling hurled himself at Pinon, outstretched hands grasping for taller man’s throat. But he had misjudged the span of chain that bound his ankles together and he dropped short of his mark.
  13. Tis amazing how less "fuzzy" Mr. March was then...
