What say you?!
(plus in this way it's not just for girls, all you guys could do it too)
(Peach, Brace, Ophe...what do you think??...yes?)
-Jare and Lib
Its half cycle and has a pointed hood(love those!). I got these small, brass clasps from Joann's, I was so happy that I found them. Here is a pic of them(I didn't have one so Thank you Ophe for posting one!)+111.JPG)
This one of the dresses(And really the only one where I am not running around in it too). It was from a pattern that I have made many dresses from. This time though was the quickest. It took me about 2 hours in all. I didn't go by the pattern very much, only the main body parts were from the pattern. The sleeves, an neck line were my own idea(and I am very happy with)
Here is a very blurry pic of the back. It was a little to big so I made this belt thingy which I would consider doing again and again(it really makes the gown look finish and historical too)
And one of the 6 cloaks/capes that I have made. This one I made for Bracie.
Some tales maker her as a skilled fighter, as well as being a match for the merry men in wilderness survival.
(I really like this drawing^ I wish I knew who did it)
Sometimes Marian is an active member of the band, a skilled archer and fighter. Other times, her true affiliations remain hidden and Marian stays in Nottingham, spying on the sheriff’s plans.
Some stories have Marian dying before Robin, either from disease or being killed in battle. In other tales, she out lives Robin and retires to a nunnery.
And I don't think that Errol Leslie Flynn looks at ALL feminine! 
I would more say that Jonas Armstrong is not my idea of a Robin Hood figure. He remains me of a teenage guy, slouchy pants and all. In the few pics and Youtupe videos I have seen I haven't really been impressed.
....just my point of view. =)
-Rowena
OK, I just can't pretend to be Marian (I'm just nothing like her!)...So I now dub myself Rowena, Marian's handmaiden. Who has no love but her fury creatures, her bow and dagger.
Here I am, in my just made Elven moltedgreen cloak, traveling through Sherwood forest.
My bow is always at my side, I could never leave my camp site with out it (Yes that's blood. Gosh Oph, you Dirk is sharp and no I don't have a arrow nocked, Keilah wouldn't let me point it at her *pout*)
Rowena in the meadow hidden within Sherwood( Some one had just said, "Lib, look dramatic! Like Legoles!" My response...
So then I do the classic, "Yeah right, I'll act like mister..." *in thick, but low and deep English* "The horses are string...night is falling...trouble is near." hehehe
"Lib, OK stop! "
"But, but look yonder! A giant bird has fallen prey to another giant bird..." *Blank look* "What are the odds?" ... "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
This one is of Rowena with her bow at night, she has just fallen upon the sheriffes and his men's camp site and is wondering whether to continue in and atack or move off to warn Robin.
Rowena, hearing footsteps approach, raises her dagger in the time of dander.
So this is my costume(or rather one of them). I am wearing a brown peasant style dress, black leggings(which you can't see as well as the felt boots) with a long sleeve green shirt and sage green cloak I made for that shoot. My hair is half up, blown thoroughly by the wind(very windy day) and I am wearing my leaf earrings.
