Scarlett Morgan Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Most female pirates I have seen wear those bloody skirts...not pants. (I detest skirts and certainly wouldn't sail with 'em.) Either way, I would like to see pics of some female pirates wearin pants, if there be any.

Red-Handed Jill Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Or do you mean historic pirates? There is a well-known picture of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, both in pants (google them and you'll see many links to that pic.) In fact, it's used as an example of what sailors - male or female - wore at that time. Not sure about the ratio of skirts-pants wearers is here - I think it mostly skews towards skirts. I mostly wear pants, but I sail, fire cannons and fight with swords and axes, so a skirt would get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Funny thing, I just got done making a pair of pants to wear for events, and am making a matching bodice. But in any case here's a really old picture of me wearing pants I made (I made a bodice too so that I can wear it for Ren-faires). Btw-I've lost weight since that picture was taken. That bodice is actually too big now.... Rumba in pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Scarlett.... in the Gallery take a look at the pictures of the Fool's Gold. (here's a link for ya Fools Gold crew ... I be the one wearing all black holding the pistol and sword with the light blue sash over my shoulder.) I don't wear skirts as a pirate. I agree... peticoats are an incredible inhibitor if yer attempting to climb the rigging or steps, doing general work upon a vessel. I only wear m' gowns an' dresses or petticoats when I portray th' Lady to some unsuspecting Foppish or Genteel fool who thinks me a Proper Lady. All in all, Lass.... here be a woman who does NOT wear skirts or petticoats as a Pirate. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Patrick Hand Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Sorry ladys... but the fabric Kilted (folded into a Kilt) is too heavy to just "blow Up"*..... that just don't happen..... now "flashing" (pulling up the kilt for whatever reason) well .... that be totaly different.... ain't it....... Climbing th' rigging may be a totaly differnet argument..... but I don't think I'd be wearing a kilk up in the rigging.......... * and don't forget... our shirts are long enough that even as we are putting on the kilt... heck... we are still "covered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 * and don't forget... our shirts are long enough that even as we are putting on the kilt... heck... we are still "covered" Mrs Mad Jack could always take up the length on one of his tunics and use less yardage in the kilt fabric tho'. I met a guy last year in kiltla..er Scotland who sported the traditional wear for a tour I went on. A few of my friends were just dying to get a peek during windier moments, but no such luck. His kilt was the real deal (4 to 5 yards of fabric wrapped around and around), but he also cheated (admitted to wearing bike shorts that day). Having that much fabric and shorts to boot kept him plenty covered. Back to the main topic, as I don't have but a few pyrate garments, my current choice be my gypsy style cotton skirts. They've done me well in the FL weather, though one of these days I will be seeking out a nice pair of pants to go with my tunics and bodice. I hears I have a nice backside that would look good in a pair...*looks*...I can't tell from my perspective though. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've posted this before, but it deserves repeating. Donald, Where's Your Trousers? I just got in from the Isle of Skye, I'm not very big and I'm awfully shy. The ladies shout as I go by "Donald, where's your trousers?" Chorus: Let the winds blow high, Let the winds blow low, Down the street in my kilt I go. And all the ladies say "Hello! Donald, where's your trousers?" A lady took me to a ball, And it was slippery in the hall. I was afraid that I would fall 'Cause I didn't have on my trousers! Chorus: They'd like to wed me everyone, Just let them catch me if they can. You canna put the brakes on a Highland man Who doesn't like wearing trousers! Chorus: To wear the kilt is my delight, It isn't wrong, I know it's right. The Highlanders would get a fright If they saw me in trousers! Chorus: Well I caught a cold and me nose was raw, I had no handkerchief at all. So I hiked up my kilt and I gave it a blow, Now you can't do that with trousers! Chorus x 2: Yo ho ho!
