Halloween

[Felix OFlyn]

Its what I did the last two years, but I'm in college now and I left my garb at home.... it makes me sad -_-  

[MorganOfCalafia]

Hell why not? Im using my pirate garb and gear for Halloween.  

[Lady Pole]

I always wear mine for Halloween. It's too hot to wear in the summer so I don't get a lot of other chances to wear it

Wow!! ^.^ That looks amazing!!!

I need to figure out how to get that dead look for my 'dead bride' costume this year! crying

HUZZAH FOR RE-USING GARB!
No, not GARB ... exactly .... stare I had this really nice dress made last year for an SCA new years party ... but it was made in black (just a simple long-sleeved black dress) because black was on UBBER sale stare ... I constantly go "soo .... who died?" ... and never wore it to an SCA event again! sweatdrop But now, I'm attaching ripped-up pieces of spiderweb fabric to it for my dead bride costume this year! biggrin heart

And I bring you said re-used garb! biggrin heart

if you ignore the safty-pinned (yes, i didn't have the heart to trash my garb) pieces of cut up spider-web material, you'll see a very beauitful dress

pretty, but black! sweatdrop

which is why I stopped wearing it since everyone kept asking me "so, who died?" or "when's the funeral" etc etc >.>

(this is my fav. picture) heart

HUZZAH FOR RE-USED GARB!! heart  

[LittleGreenGirl]

[Naito_Mitsukai]

Yeah, but the funeral bit gets old fast! stare And no one seems to tire of it! rolleyes made a really nice dead bride costume though! rofl heart

Kinda feels like cheating.

Besides, why cheat myself out of the chance to make a nifty costume? blaugh

So... funny story. One of our fighters didn't wash his gambeson for his first seven years of fighting, and you could smell it from a distance. Hell, at least one person has passed out from getting too close to it. With this in mind, we were all shocked when one October a few years back he declared that he'd washed it. As it turned out, he and one of our other fighters were planning on wearing their armor for Halloween, and he didn't want to drive all the lady folk away.

I wear my SCA garb for halloween sometimes, but yeah it just doesn't feel right out side of events sometimes its like you don't want it to lose the magic LMFAO  

[Notuagin]

My family is on a budget so I wear my garb so we don't have to make or buy new ones.  

[Tchipakkan]

Most of us love costuming, so why would we miss an opportunity to make something different? In the SCA you can only do medieval garb, so if you want to do anything fantasy (see some jerk at an event dressed as a fairy or a vampire) you can do it right for Halloween  

[KariudoMegami]

I don't wear my garb for Halloween, I wear it too much for it to seem costumeish. On top of that, I usually go to a party thrown by one of my scadian friends for Halloween, so it would kinda be cheating. Besides which, it's too much fun to make Halloween costumes to cheat myself of it!

i've done it once! but that was because we where allowed to dress up at work and i didn't have time to change after the demo we did at the mall.
