Description I did not make the corset, that was bought at the Crimson Chain leatherworks. I did, however, make the chemise and tartan skirt. The sleeves are rolled up to allow me to shoot, but the cuffs are gathered to a band and fastened with a button. The neckline is gathered with a drawstring.

The skirt is actually not hemmed because I ran out of time, but the edge is serged. I just have to get to hemming it in the next week or so because my new boots don't have heels and I'll be tripping all over it. I actually used a strip of the same fabric to pin my fox tails to, so you can see the tied ends peaking out from my corset. I need to get around to glueing leather lacing to them to tie to my belt.

Yay archery! My brother's wife Ginny took this photo, and yes I know I have bunny ears!

I love your outfit, and I wish I had a recurved bow like that! (I've only got a compound bow, and it's very jerky.)

Thank you very m uch! It's not my bow, it belongs to the archery line. I don't have my own yet. I hope to have a custom longbow made for me in the next couple years. I'm so short, but I have a lot of strength, so it's a bit hard finding a really good bow for me.

Who's that in the background giving you rabbit ears?

One of the guys who works with line with me, he was following me around giving me ears in probably half the shots. They're cheeky at the archery line, they are!

Awfully bold to make fun of someone holding a bow and arrow...

Us Rennies are a bold bunch. Also, if I so much as put an arrow on the bow when I wasn't facing the target wall I'd get so thoroughly verbally eviscerated my bowels would be decorating the entire fairgrounds. They don't screw around with safety on the line.

Thanks! It's a lot of fun and easy to learn. I teach it at the Renaissance Festival when I get the chance.
