Love the orange color connection of Daria's belt and your gown. You are the peasant, yes?

Ah. Yeh, I thought her dress seemed rather in in good shape. I portray a candle-maker in a medieval re-enactment of 1376 England. Working for 10 summers over a smoking brazier, and steaming cauldron of vats? I have stains on top of stains--LOL! have a great weekend. :~}

LOL! It is sad that all our hard work with expensive fabrics (linen and wool) take such a beating. My gowns, and those of my daughters, cost as much as formal dresses. There's irony. Who wants to get mud, wax, and grass stains on their formals? xoxo

I solve this problem simply)) There is a basic dress, and over it is worn or "work" dress with apron, or "elegant" with rich accessories). Work clothes dirty do not mind))

As a peasant who is bound to the land, it can be assumed that I would have only one basic dress to wear. Lucy is not free. I share this with guests, and actually postulate that I do not understand why one would want to be free. Freemen must find their own way, and we Saxons who are under just overlords actually prosper better than many a free person. Which was true, by the way.
The big story I told this last summer was my frustration that we had to slaughter our old cow that had stopped giving milk. We had been saving coin to add a stable so our animals would no longer live in the house. Stupid cow. We had to purchase another cow, so I could make cheeses to sell at market, and feed my family over winter, and during the lenten fast. The good news is we had plenty of meat stored in fat, or dried to feed us for several months.
A lot of guests could relate, what with the current economic concerns of our own time. I have another gown over which I wear my brocaded gates-of-hell surcote. That dress is for another personae. When I displayed it, I told guests that it was my wedding gown, being aired out so my daughter could wear it for her own wedding in September.

interesting) you do only one historical period? So thoughtful, I was just a suit in the Viking Age. I had to get involved as a master at everything at once)) expected of me travel to different festivals, and on the ages and on estates. And almost every festival I put a new set of clothes - like advertising the fact that I can do with their hands

The 1300s are not actually my period of interest, but the founder, by setting the village in Sommerset, England in 1376 was very wise. We in the cast always know what's happening in the world on that day. We are able to develop very complex backgrounds, and identities. There is virtually no anachronistic clothing, armor or weapons to be seen in the village. Even games that people played, and the food served at the inn are heavily researched and accurately served. No plates, or forks are ever used. People eat off trencher loaves with their hands.
If you can create beautiful clothing from many periods, and cultures in The Middle Ages, I am truly in awe of your abilities. I am far too impatient to take the time to hand stitch a banded seam, and create buttons out of stuffed cloth circles. I hope to see more of gorgeous images of your work. "Coin" is so expressive and the gowns are wonderful. I hope you are selling some of your gowns. The quality, and fabric make them very valuable pieces for collectors.

I occasionally carry out orders, but I confess - those dresses that I sewed for myself and then sell very sorry))) The more that I am "State employee" - most of my costumes are sewn on the means of our city, and remain in the fund of the Institution where I work . My problem - not just to sew for me, but to teach girls and young people - most of my students here in the photographs. The truth now, I plan to move to another city and unfortunately have to sell some of my dresses (
Well when the city has a long history. The town where I live now only 60 years old))

In the new city, you will sew. It is your passion. That will follow you no matter where you go, or the conditions imposed by others. My gown is my own, but any money that goes into my alms bowl is passed to the village at the end of the day. I will to do everything in my power to sustain Camlann Medieval Village. Even at loss of personal income.
We both share our knowledge of the Middle Ages for the next generation, and help adults understand their heritage. Those are gifts beyond value. Your city may be new (goodness, most modern cities in the USA are at best 500 years old) The towns that are ancient here were founded before Europeans imposed their culture on the indigenous people.

A little afraid of what the new place much have to start from the beginning. But you are right - suits my passion)))
The main thing when there is a man obsessed, and he has a lot to his desire to achieve, to find allies and opportunities to implement their ideas.
