Mill Ends Doom

Hank and I magically ended up and Mill Ends today and they just happened to have all of their linen on sale at %20... and there was this really really cool green and blue shot linen that was so nice and soft... and I bought the bolt. It may be the base of my heraldic dress. ANyone have any good sites which discuss creation of heraldic dresses? I know, you may nit want to hare because the immage of my haraldry on garb might be just too mind blowing to contemplate, but it will be cool, you will see. Or you will be blinded and thus saved from misery.

You could go through Modar's links:

You could also come to Heraldic Symposium and ask people. Countess Elizabeth is teaching heraldic display.

Is that a heraldic surcoat he is wearing over his normal outfit? If so, I WANT ONE! :)

Looks like a surcoat over armour. But surcoats always go over something; that's what 'sur' means!
