Apparently I’ve been doing it wrong. Though of course I’m not a Princess, so maybe it’s just a rank thing?
You must go to the original site and look at the closeups. Her headgear is particularly nice.

Oh lord. Strappy heels and hornettes on the helmet. No smiting of enemies or she might break a nail.

And all that cream colored fabric – must be self-cleaning, too!

It’s so good to know what I should’ve been wearing in the SCA. The Celtic knotwork trim is particularly nice. Maybe you could step up the costume a notch by nalbinding the gauntlets? sigh!

That’s, um… well… um… certainly… impressive – that’s the word I want… (And I work in Halloween costume rental! I’m not easily floored…)
Thank you for sharing. Are you planning on reproducing the headgear, or do you suppose that would be presumptuous in one of your rank?
