I used gold lace that <a href=\"http:\/\/demodecouture.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kendra<\/a> found in the New York garment district to edge the bodice, then topped that with a bit of raspberry satin ribbon (from Jo-Ann&#8217;s of all places). Atop that, I added freshwater pearls &amp; glass garnet-colored beads in a cross formation. The sleeve cuffs are trimmed with the gold lace as well, &amp; the sleeves tie on with raspberry velvet cording (also from Jo-Ann&#8217;s, where I found the matching velvet ribbon to bind the hem, oh lucky day!).<\/p>\n<p>This will be my official renfaire gown with <a href=\"http:\/\/belladonnacourtesans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bella Donna<\/a> this year, &amp; I&#8217;m quite pleased with it. I still need to figure out better hair &#8212; the half wig I&#8217;m wearing in most of these photos is too heavy &amp; warm, &amp; the horns I tried to remake didn&#8217;t work out. Sarah styled my hair the second day of faire (seen in the pix where I&#8217;m sitting in the Queen&#8217;s chair) but I can&#8217;t rely on that. But the next faire&#8217;s aren&#8217;t until fall, so I have time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
