TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 This dress is a gift, a thank-you present from Becky Cristler. Becky made my black dress with the red chemise that you've seen me wearing in most of my photos. She said that she wanted to make me something really special- a fancy dress for the pirate's ball and other events where a more elaborate dress could be worn. It was a thank-you for the referrals that have come her way as a result of Tales of the Seven Seas. This dress is red brocade- pretty awesome eh?!!! I haven't got it yet, but I just got the photos and had to show it off a bit! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Ah, that's nice, lass. Besides, black and red is so....run-of-the-mill...everyone and their dog is wearing it.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Actually Becky and I have never met in person. She makes the dresses as her business. She is TOP NOTCH and every wench I've sent to her has been thrilled with the results. These dresses are very flattering to all kinds of figures. Becky custom tailors the dresses to the wench's measurements and will make the dress in any color or fabric you choose. The bodice/skirt with a chemise is only $75 (this can vary with different types of fabric) which is not only very competative, but her quality is top-notch. I've abused the heck out of mine over the last year and it still looks great! Here is her email, please let her know you found her through Tales of the Seven Seas or me: sunset_red7@yahoo.com Nigel, I'm surprised you said lots of wenches wear red and black. In all the events I've done, I've never seen anyone other than myself with a red chemise. They are almost always white. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think white is the only historically accurate color also. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Ne'er mind the comment, girls. 'Twas offhand, and not meant to offend. Let's just say that I live in Seattle - goth central.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 T'was no offense Nigel m'dear, just a curiosity as it didn't quite mesh with me shades o' unreality. Piracy is a funny goth cross-over. If ye' think Seattle be Goth Central, we gotta have ye' out to Santa Cruz one o' these witchin' hours n' compare notes. We' got pink "Candy Goth" pirates, an the "Maroon n' Black Crushed Velvet Blood Drinkers" an then there be th' silver n' black "Studs n' Leather With Piercings Pirates"... Oh wait, me mistake, the latter be relocated Raider's Fans!!

Ye've got the best friends, SevenSeas. I'm actually thinkin' of droppin' 'er a line for a bodice, skirt and chemise once I get meself $100.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 Great idea Ryanne.... I recently found out about a quaint rustic British tavern/inn with a fireside room you can rent for parties just outside of San Francisco- I had been thinking it might be fun to do something like there: Pelican Inn Wolfy, Becky's wench outfits rock- You'll love it! I truly can't say enough about how good her stuff is. She's also great to work with. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Pyrate Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Quill... Pelican sounds like a darn good idea.

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 That dress be absolutely gorgeous. This poor college student is quite envious!

Merrydeath Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Beautiful dress, Sweets, and I bet you will look amazing in it! All the pirates will be naming their ships after you.. I love the hat with it. Please post a pic of it on you when you get a chance! The Pelican Inn is a great looking place. I can imagine a quiet evning in an overstuffed chair with a glass of Jameson's, a fire going, and the lights of the Bridge seen below.. ah! Bliss!

Capt Grey Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 OMG! $75! How can she do it for that little? Just the fabric alone can cost that much. Me hat's off t'yer friend, Quill. I'll be sure t'keep her e-mail handy and pass it along t'anyone I know what wants a dress like that. Even though I sew, I couldn't make a dress like that. I be a hack.
