My Early SCA Garb-The Watermelon Stealing Dress


This was my second favorite dress. It was known as the watermelon stealing dress. It was green on the outside and pink on the inside like a watermelon. You could stuff a watermelon up either sleeve. It is a bliaut, done in the style that suggests that a bliaut had a curved waistline hem that dipped in the front. There is a big question about whether the actual bliauts were a loose gown with a vest with a curved lower front laced over them. or something that was actually cut and tailored to be that way. Whatever, it was a favorite.
