A final update on our ren faire costumes! I didn't get many good photos because we were too busy having fun!
I was up until 10:30 the night before finishing up our outfits, which is completely normal for me. I am a textbook procrastinator 🫠
In total I made:
- My bodice (one side is a vintage pink floral, the other is a cream floral tablecloth)
- Ellie's chemise (light blue floral, made from vintage fabric)
- Ellie's bodice (same pink floral, and the other side is a cream cotton shower curtain)
- Ellie's skirt (made from a white vintage tablecloth that I hand dyed pink)
- Brian's cloak vest thing (still unsure of name... lol! made from a green linen tablecloth, hood is lined in a striped shower curtain)
- Brian's quiver (made from a thrifted faux leather-- I'd love to remake in real leather! with real leather vintage belts for the strap)
This was such a fun project to work on in my down time, and I am already thinking of ways to change it up next year!! The best part was Ellie telling everyone "thanks, my mom made it!" 🥰
