Anna Skirt Canvas

Initially the skirt was a piece of clothing for both: men and women alike. It was made with sleeves and was worn as everyday clothing in all social classes. Only later the skirt developed into the shape we know it as today. The ankle long skirt "Anna" is built with a wide, comfortable waistband. The lacing on the back can be used to adjust the skirt individually to the wearers body. Rough canvas provides the necessary durability on LARP events and medieval markets. When combined with the blouse and the bodice from the "Anna" series, this costume provides a good basis for a tavern maidens dress. As usual: the accessories added will only make up for the basis being changed into your individual costume.

Material: cotton

The street is a hard place to conduct business, but it’s a way of life you’ve become very good at keeping. You have a reputation as one of the deadliest rogues in the city, with knife skills to rival even the King of Thieves. He’s actually a close friend of yours.

Those who don’t know any better think you are simply a pretty face, and those poor ol’ saps usually don’t escape with coin left in their purse.

DETAILS
