We're doing a color court this year (word is slowly getting out). Green and white/silver.

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR OUTFIT -- CAN BE JUST AN ACCESSORY! Yes, it says that in the announcement, but people seem to fixate on the clothing part for some reason.

Anyway.

I have this lovely medium-dark blue and green silk/wool blend that I'm contemplating using for making a Norman overdress from, for this. The woven pattern is a sort of a plaid, but not the kind with big blocks of color. Got it from Freya years ago, and been keeping it safe until I was sure of what I wanted to do with it (I've also contemplated a late period style as well, but late is out until my weight stabilizes). It has a super dreamy drape :)

I remembered that piece as soon as you described it. *grin* Enjoy. I get to see a picture of you in it, though. *smile*

It's one of my favorite pieces :)

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to save it yet again. I should have gotten more than 4 yards. Even at my height, I need more than that for a proper Norman :(

I'm thinking though, that it will look lovely as a modern "Victorian" outfit... I probably can't get a jacket and skirt, but maybe a vest and skirt?

And yes, when I finally make something with it, there will be pictures!
