time traveling dress?
Respected friends:
I am hoping the Collected Wisdom (TM, Patent Pending) of the group can get me off the horns of a peculiarly odd dilemna.
I scored over 4 yards of magnificent tropic-weight (read a headline through it) worsted wool.
I only have enough for one dress.
I need two: something a Frenchwoman living in England in the 1500s could _documentably_ have and wear, and something that looks convincingly (once accessorized) like any era's Quaker Plain Dress.
Maybe it's just being up all night -for the last three nights- but I'm drawing a blank here.
Oh, yes- it's flourescent lime green.
Me whining ---> Do I _have_ to dye it?
Me stopping whining -->Well, what would be the best achievable color to cover both uses?
