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? :ph34r:

Anyway.. you think it will go with the coat?

**Looks at bodice pictures, and remembers the awesome coat. Takes drool rag from pouch and wipes lips** "Uh, oh, sorry."

BTW, as for old ladies not acting their age - who ever said there were age rules? B)

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

It's a fetching bodice, Bess. Aye... we be pirates... ANYTHING goes with our outfits. B)

It'll be mighty racy with the coat, bodice and the bloomers! B)

Oh, if Mr Rush could see how ye've twisted around the Barbossa outfit!

Will have to pester someone and make sure someone takes at least one pic of ye, Bess!

It's gorgeous!  Are you going to be wearing it to Ojai?

I'd like too.... it depends on how hot it is.

I'm not suppose to wear anything too tight anymore becasue of my heart however this is constructed with lacing in the back as well so it's totally adjustable. I showed the pattern to my Dr and she said *Well.... lemme see it once you get it.*

I can move and breathe with no problem or undue pressure so.... B) And get this Jill... it's Chenille!! How soft and breathable it that?

Yeah, I'd LOVE to wear it to Ojai!

It's a beauty Bess. You'll look great on stage in it with your coat,

To be honest, I wasn't thinking of it as a performance outfit...

(Shrug) We'll have to see :lol:

Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

:rolleyes::o

Oh, dear... she's a plot brewin' in her devilish mind.

Even if I had the body for it, I don't think I would do something racy with the Barbossa outfit I be making. Damnable french knots are a hellish thing to be adding in one by one for the coat.

All in all, eager t' see more pix, Bess!

Jacky.... better those heads be turnin'... rather than heads a rollin'! :huh:

Iron Bess, How come when you get a new item for us to drool over, your never in it, on it, or holding it? By the way, thats a fine looking sword you have.

Excuse me....

There are posted pictures of m'self IN my Barbossa coat and HOLDING my sword on this site. Just not looking in the right places?

And I might add, they were all added AFTER the initial pictures of the said items were posted for Pub perusal.

When I've attended an event in this rig you'll see the pictures if anyone is interested.

(I will refrain from a closing remark...)
