I don't like the non-period cluttered look of all those fiddly bits hanging
off a bodice or doublet.  I'm early German Ren. and put those things on my
'pizza' hat (the Germans/Flemmish put the most amazing things on their hats).

On the other hand, I once needed a favour on no notice (I 'purchased' a
beginner fighter at an SCA fundraising auction in Australia), and gave the
gentleman a scrap of fabric, promising to replace it with something nicer
in future.  So I got a pair of gloves, embroidered and pearled the cuffs,
and sent him the right-hand one.  Said 'kid' later became a formidable, and
titled, SCA fighter in Australia.  I still have the left-hand glove.
