You and I need to talk about those little jewelry thingies.

Because they are awful? Or AWESOME? I love all the little jeweled bits I put on costumes. They are not so expensive to buy when you buy wholesale! That does mean you get stuck with quite a lot of them if you go a different direction!

"I bet youtr client looks fabulous!"

H'eh. He probably did---for a while, if we're talking about that Landsknecht thing. His intention was to wear it under his armor at demos so he would look all spiff when he stripped the armor off in front of the audience. (Yeah, right: like all the sweat, and armor stains, and general grunge you get from heavy weapons combat didn't put paid to that idea really quickly!)
He may still have and use a bat-wing tunic and a sleeveless surcoat or cyclas which were made to be worn together, and---I was rather proud of myself for managing this one---it had to be a complete and total surprise, and as it was the first bit of costuming I ever made for that particular body, I didn't have any measurements recorded.

"I love pulling rabbits from hats."I used to love it, for the sense of accomplishment and of competence it used to give me ( ... )

Thanks! I kind of Forrest Gumped my way through most of it. I had to do a lot of backtracking to get it right!
