Hi. I be-friended you because I saw your posts about Tudor garb. That's something I am interested in, too. In the society, I'm called "Halla of Mugmort", but here on LJ I'm just pooklaroux.

Nice to meet you. If I may ask, in which Kingdom do you reside? I recently finished most of my Tudor and am now working on a loose kirtle and gown, along with my husband's Yule tunics. :D

I'm in the Shire of Mugmort, The Barony of Middle Marches, under the Dragon Throne of the Middle Kingdom. Mundanely, that's Lancaster, but we actually live in Columbus, Ohio. (The Marche of Tirnewydd is actually the "Columbus" group, but we are so far off to the East Side, we're closer to Mugmort meetings.)
I actually found your journal by searching on the interest "chatelaine" because I just took up office of chatelaine for my local group.
Right now I wear Viking aprondresses, but I'm very interested in early Tudor (the stuff that looks like a nun's habit, with a big long gabled headdress.) But I like to look at all periods of Tudor..

Cool, I am in An Tir myself. Barony of Glymm Mere. Congrats on the Chatelaine position. I have a few apron dresses myself. Especially for when I camp with all my kidlets. Tudor is not conducive to child wrangling. ;) I am a huge Tudor and 'bethan junkie and am planning to do another Tudor gown soon. There will be huge design and construction changes in the next one. I am hoping to do it out of either a brown or deep red velvet. It will depend on what is available when I have the money. I especially like what I often call the pre-Tudor which are the gowns that are transitioning from Burgundian to Tudor. I also have a thing for hennins. Let's face it I am just easily distracted by shiny cultures ;D

oh - yes -- burgundians with the hennins -- yes, very yumm! I have a lovely pictures of the Queen of Meridies wearing a lovely burgundian from the coronation of Brannos and Rebekah, which I attended last weekend.
I went to the Knowne Worlde Costuming Symposium in September, and got a great handout on Burgundian garb. I missed the first half of the workshop, but the instructor was great about letting us drop in and get the handouts. She looked fab in her Burgundian -- you wouldn't believe how tall her headdress was -- and it was so stable!
