Historic Costume Bling

[grnvixen]

This is primarily for radcliffe and rowangolightly but some other folks may enjoy it as well. This website sells vintage textiles and has some absolutely drop-dead gorgeous historic and designer pieces. Then there is the jewelry. Prepare to wipe the drool from the keyboards ladies!

And why was I thinking of gammerspinning on Valentine's Day? Because TCM was airing Sea Hawk and I tuned in in time for the great sword fight at the end :).

It is a might fine sword fight. Thanks for thinking of me, my dear.

Extra special thanks for pointing me to the patterns at reconstructinghistory.com. I think I've decided on grey as the color for my musketeer attire.

I want that cape on the opening page so bad it makes my head hurt. Oh, wait. Maybe that's my hangover.

But still, mega-awesome cape.

That was me, falling over in a dead faint from the vintage beauty.

Ouch.

Just let me know when you want to go fabric trolling (doesn't mean you have to buy, but could start budgeting). Cy's is a good place to start, altho I usually have a JoAnn's coupon around somewhere too.

Oh yes oh yes oh yes!

Thank you for the amazing inspiration link :-)

(and yeah- fun movie, too!)

I really didn't need to see that website *shakes fist in mock rage*. Especially as I just brought this book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0486423239/ref=sr_11_1/102-9672403-1992159?%5Fencoding=UTF8) home from work for about $8.00. (well really free as I used a gift card we got for being store of the quarter)

*goes and pretends to not look at the site*
