I actually didn’t remember which costume I made first – this medieval peasant outfit or my Strawberry Shortcake ensemble. I sewed both during high school (back when I had more time to do such things!). However, being that I’m wearing glasses in this picture it must have been when I was a sophomore. I, happily, got contacts my junior year.
I was excited to use grommets on the corset/vest, but they were such a pain! Luckily I now have several tools for inserting the obnoxious things. It’s a fun costume and I’ve worn it many times. I think my mom even borrowed it once. A peasant costume comes in handy!
GrammaG from swap-bot here. I think this is a great costume! You could use it for many occasions. My family loves to go to rennaissance fairs and Shakespeare festivals, and it would be just the thing!
It’s charming and timeless!! I love it! I want one like that, and I plan to make one 🙂
