| I wil be using this outfit for my larping for the new season which starts in may. there are a few things I still need to finish, but for a majority of the outfit, and what you see here, I got from the thrift store and altered it or made it from the ground up.  Shirt: made from bedsheet - total cost 4$ skirt: made from secondhand skirt and table cloth - 8$ overdress: made from second hand dress and sheets - 14$ snood - hand crocheted, about 3$ of cotton yarn Pants from sheets: 4$ Showing that with a bit of sewing you can make a larp outfit for less than 35$ - priceless  | |

| I love your outfit. It looks very authentic. Isn't it great making such a nice outfit for so little money!
I love working with thrift store finds too. Sheets are great. Amazing amount of very wide fabric for very little money. I always check for 100% cotton percale in good shape and pretty colors/patterns.

I did for the shirt, and part of the pants. I did some heavy modifying on certain parts. For the overdress I didnt use a pattern at all, nor did I use one for the skirt modifications. I also have a leather cincher I have been carving. I JUST finished it today. Im just waiting for the backing to dry, and i will post pics soon | |
