I need your help.
Hi all,
I've been going round and round in my head for weeks trying to figure out which outfit to make for the Black Rose Ball in October. I need to make a decision soon, so that early in May I can start the work I need to get the parts all together. So, I need your help. Please look over the images in this post, and at the bottom vote for the one you think I should create. All are Franco-Flemish in style, and the Ball's theme is Field of Cloth of Gold. No, the dress does not have to be gold for me to wear it. I will make it as close to period correct as possible, as I may also submit the whole outfit for Pentathalon (depending on how happy I am with how it comes out).
If you want to leave a message, feel free. I will leave this poll open until the end of the month.
Here are the pics to help you chose from.
