Lady Gisborne Leather Necklace

Although I didn't get any gowns done for Maid Marian Fashion Weekend I did get this necklace made which is inspired by...well, the bad guy actually. But he was a big part of Marian's life, if you remember. :)
I was inspired by Guy of Gisborne's taste in fashion (lots of black leather) and what he might have picked out for the love of his life.

Guy seems to have a thing for leather...this lightweight leather cord is perfect to go with Marian's style. (Don't worry...Robin Hood is still first in her heart) And the blue stone and silver ringed charm add a bit of medieval elegance.

Embroidered Regency Gown Photo Shoot

I've finally got pictures of my Regency gown on. It looks sooo much better on a person than it does on a dress form. Thanks so much Genevieve of Pretty Wit for the photography! She took so many amazing photos...it was hard to choose what ones to post. Here are just a few. :)
The dress is entirely hand stitched.

Tiny tucks and embroidery decorate the front:

Embroidery and ribbon trim the hem:

I've just relisted this dress in my SHOP.
