Everyone has to start somewhere

Based on a discussion I had at faire last week,

NYRF, 1982, with my D&D group.

It's pink polyester with silver glitter threads, and hs a zipper up the back. Go me!

At home I have the photo of the NEXT year's effort - a cotton calico (stripes AND flowers) unboned bodice made from the Folkwear Dirndl pattern. worn over a rayon gauze dress nicked from the HS costume shop. It had a regular shirt collar, 3 gathered tiers, and was trimmed with rickrack.

The next year(last before I left for college) featured a tiered calico skirt, a short-sleeved gauze blouse, and a black bustier. I was soooo cool, you know. The photo shows me lounging in the Queen's throne (while she was at the joust) flanked by two guy friends with wall-hanger swords. One was wearing a leather vest & headband, shorts, and lace-up boots. The other was a skinny "barbarian" in black plastic-rimmed glasses and a rather unfortunate-looking fake fur one-shoulder tunic straight out of the Flintstones.
