Went to TORM this weekend in Coventry (The Original Re-enactors Market [link] - a twice yearly market of re-enactment gear, plus historical fashion shows, and these days also has a few larp stalls). It was pretty fun, and I came away with a lovely regency bonnet, a new pair of fancy stockings, and 'The Moy Gown' dress pattern by Reconstructing History, which should be a fun project at some point, and my first move away from mainstream commercial patterns (I seem to have reached the limits of them in terms of medieval stuff - I've tried most of them now, I think, and none are quite right for what I want).

My hubby managed to get himself some great tall boots for a very good price, and I pointed out lots of nice little things I'd love to turn up in my stocking at christmas

Stopped to watch their 'film and tv' fashion show - mostly not direct copies of costumes from films, but rather the more historically accurate reproductions they have of dresses from the relevant eras. Some of it was very beautiful indeed, and I winced at the amount of time that had been spent hand sewing some of them. I am jealous of their skill and dedication. They also had some little sketches from Blackadder and Oliver, which made it a bit more fun.

Meanwhile, I have finished the skirt for my victorian dress (although trying to work out how to make the pleats in the trimming stay nice and crisp), just have the bustle to go now! Then will be able to post some pictures soon hopefully
