Lady Alyx Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Okay gals, what do you wear for your Pirate Wench/Captain garb. Is it to be long pants, slops or skirts and fancy dress? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Red-Handed Jill Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Depends on the situation. However, my wardrobe consists of: Five pair pants (all long, silk, linen, etc.) Six shirts Four skirts (working on number five) Three vests (working on number four and five) Some assorted bodices for fairegoing - five or six. I'm working on a set of stays. One justacorps Two belts Three Howard Pyle-inspired sashes One pair boots One pair shoes (looking to replace the buckles) One pair knit socks Two tricorns Four or five waist cinchers (when the really Hollywood look is required) I'm sure there's more but I can't recall right now.
Mary Diamond Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Ah, several items in the closet at this moment, but I guess you are looking for an individuals ideal costume? It would be: justaucorps, waistcoat, corset, plain linen shirt, trewes, my LOVELY boots, belts, lace handkerchief, and assorted baubles. Layers, essentially. Much as I love fancy dress, skirts and corsets, they can get too warm and difficult to get around in. So, lovely fabrics, in a practical (piratical?)form. Oooh, shiny!
Mary Diamond Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 OMG! I can't believe I forgot the MOST IMPORTANT piece of my wardrobe! HATS! Specifically, piratically, my tricorn. (sigh) I love hats. Oooh, shiny!
Lady Alyx Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Mary yea ferget one thing...yes fancy dress from plundering fancy ships! Yes I would think it be okay that way...eh lol! ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Rumba Rue Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I have so many outfits for pirating, Renaissance and sci-fi, I can't even begin to list them all! I have more costumes than regular clothes!
Lady Alyx Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 Rhumba..was yer favorite or sexiest outfit? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Rumba Rue Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I call this my Sweetheart Amanda outfit (sort of a Mae West) that I did for a costume contest at a Sci-fi con. I won first place for the Journeyman catagory. I also won the Workmanship award for the beadwork I did (hearts). This was years ago...
Lady Alyx Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Wow Rumba..you can wear that for this Valentines Day..wow! Great job and the shiny fabrics are always a beastie on the sewing machine. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx

PirateSSe Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I don't have Official Pyratically Correct garb, but I'm quite good at alterin' anything I can find that has potential. I go my own way in a piratical fashion. Thankfully I'm skilled with sewing machine, fabrics, trims.. soldering torch, sterling silver, rotary tool, hammer, engraver...so I have a fair amount of my own piratical jewelry, too.
Red-Handed Jill Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I would love this: Hmmm... looks like one of my "hollywood pirate" outfits, but mine comes with pants and thigh boots.

Kathyrn Ramsey Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I kit when I have to be in male kit is slops, shirt, hose, garters, shoes, simple belt, sword, leather thong, tricorn When I am in "port" I have several that I go between, from 17th century gown, wool petticoats, shift, jumps, stays, cap, apron, belt with knife, pockets, proper undergarments, shoes, hose, and garters.

Silkie McDonough Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 My word, Rue! That oufit ROCKS!!! Sometimes I really wish I could do costume contests... Why can't you Kass? If it isn't an issue of time you could use a pseudonym. I use one in my singing. My very German last name does not fit well with Irish Traditional Music. Your historically correct name would not work with some fantasy costume but why not have the fun anyway?
CaptainSatan Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Pirate Wench, what's in your wardrobe? If their husband come home early you might find me hiding in there . -CS As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.
LadyBarbossa Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Hmm... well, a couple that folks have seen already. But actual piratical attire: Black outfit - black cotton ruffled shirt, black paisley cotton waistcoat w/ black braided trim & silver buttons, black cotton pantaloons (think Barbossa's pants), black ribbed cotton coat with blue/silver/gold/black lacing trim and silver buttons, black stockings, black Barbossa style hat, either black shoes or cavalry boots, black satin ribbon for the hair... and a wide range of jewelry to adorn the outfit with. Oh, and m' Potter Rev War sword and pistol (which now I have 2 of them, one that works, one that doesn't), and my fav knife with wording on one side of it that says when translated "With this knife I bring dead". A couple coin bags/purses... black belt, black satin sash and blue satin sash. As a Lady, I've the gold gown (kinda an Elizabeth Swann knock off). Working on a new pirate outfit. Hoping to have it finished in time for Port Washington. Hehehe, can't really give details cause, well... it's still in the works. Maybe 2 if I have the time to work on both of them. I've about 3 pirate outfits I want to do eventually. .... Eventually. Most everything else I have is for Rev War. I usually don't wear skirts/petticoats or dresses/gowns as a pirate. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
