Pirate clothing for the ladies


Hawkyns

Recommended Posts

Me lady wife has decided to go on the account with me but is having problems deciding on appropriate kit. She has plenty of wench garb, but wants to do more male styled garb. We've been looking at pirate fantasy stuff like the art of Clyde Caldwell, Don Maitz, or Edward Beard. Looks great to me, but is that going to be too way out even for this crowd? Opinions please, ladies?

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

I will confess to being in the midst of stealing clothing ideas from Jack Sparrow at the moment, and no one has so much as blinked an eye. I think there are quite a few of the women here who raid the closets of menfolk for their piratical clothing, so your lady should be fine B)

I plundered my other costumes for my pirate garb.

- short chemise from Ren dress

- black denim leggings

- short bodice I made

- thigh-high leather boots off e-Bay I use with my Star Wars Jedi outfit

I also made a balderick (sp?) to hold my sword out of two leather belts. They were the belts with 2-prong buckles I bought at Target for $6 each. By connecting them, I made it long enough to go over my shoulder and down to my hip.

Hope this helps. B)

Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
