Kampfrau, 15??s

Diary started August 1, 2006
Dress planning in progress.

Summary

So it turns out I look smashing in Germans. Whodathunk? So I'm willing to do it some more. This requires that I have more than one german gown. The Cranach type gown is lovely (see Cranach dress diary).. but not really camp garb. So I need a new dress. The cloths of a Kampfrau seem especially suited to camping (go figure). So it begins.

Research and Background

Details to include:

Dress made of wool
Simple front-closing bodice that laces or hooks in the front (leaning towards hooks).
Multiple guards on the dress (assuming I find that guards are appripriate)
Fantasticly over-the-top sleeves.
The dress of 1,001 accessories (bottle, knife, pouch, etc, etc)
