For those who have asked, here’s a rearview picture of me in my dress, wimple, and hat (I’m ever so bashful). I think I’m going to replace the wimple with just a veil, since either covers my hair quite adequately and the veil is somewhat more flattering.
I know the lacing is crooked, but it takes a while to break in a good lady’s maid. Maybe if Hubby keeps watching the scene from Gone With the Wind where Mammy laces up Scarlett O’Hara, he’ll get better at it.
Yes, it does look as if your lady’s maid could do with some more practice 🙂 I’m no expert on 14th-century fashions, but whenever I’ve seen medieval costumes a veil looks more flattering than a wimple.
Hehe, maybe you should settle for a black leather corsage for him to train. 🙂
Hhm, Hubby could have a lot of fun practicing if we really worked at it!
