[Sca-cooks] an tir 12th

[Olwen the Odd]

Cripes I hope you get pictures of both these outfits on you.  They both
sound fabulous! (well, one funny and the other one divine).

>But i'll by at The Kingdom of the West Twelfth Night. I'm in a
>somewhat serious play that the Golden Stag Players are going to
>perform at West Kingdom Twelfth Night about chivalry in SCA culture.
>I have a small part as an SCA bimbo. I'm told i'm unrecognizable in
>the blonde wig, pink satin head roll with iridescent metallic
>rick-rack wrapped around it, pastel pink-lavender-peach wench dress,
>and the purple corset i wear *over* it, not to mention the hot
>magenta lipstick and lime green eye shadow. Scary but true, there is
>a guy in the play who thinks my trashy look is a turn on...

>Anyway, I'm in the midst of working on my garb for my kingdom's
>Twelfth Night, for when i'm *not* on stage. The event theme color is
>white, and i just happened to have some white-ish stuff around that
>i'd collected over time to make into a 16th century Ottoman outfit,
>not specifically for Twelfth Night, but now is as good a time as any,
>although i am the Princess of Procrastination - I leave town on
>Friday at noon.

>I've finished the off-white silk dupioni salwar (narrow ankle pants).
>And i'm nearly done with the *very very sheer* off-white cotton
>gomlek (undertunic). The pattern is based on a surviving 14th c.
>Persian kamiz for reasons i won't go into on a cooking list - and
>except for the parts that show - the sleeves and the hem - no one is

>I'm debating which fabric to use for the enteri, which is a
>button-up-the-front "tunic" that is an Ottoman woman's primary
>garment (she can do without the hirka). Either a very soft silk
>that's off-white with a very very faint printed pattern in very very
>pale beige and very very pale grey (which i'll have to line and maybe
>even pad, because it's too soft) - or a mostly cotton Jacquard that
>is white with ogees and stylized flowers in two shades of green and
>two shades of red, but that's too stiff for an enteri...
>
>However, if i use the soft silk for the enteri, i can use the
>Jacquard to make a kaftan and line it with fake fur.
>Anyway, back to the cutting board... Not much food content, i know...
