"Viking" dress


I just could finish this dress in time for a wedding end July 2002. The sword is not mine, I was allowed to use it, now I would like to buy myself one. The dress is made out of linen, and on the smaller picture you can see how the sites are kept together with cords.

The hat was made in an earlier stage, black suede with fake fur along the edge.

Viking is between quotes, as it is not historical correct. Dyed linen in such a color was still unavailable by that time; we can only do that with our modern dye stuff.
