[MR] Auction Item to benefit the Atlantian Cavalry

[Pat della Piana]

The Friends of the Cavalry group was created specifically to handle private fund-raising efforts for the Kingdom of Atlantia Cavalry. All funds raised will be managed privately and will not be under SCA controls. Please be assured that 100% of all funds raised by the Friends of the Cavalry will directly benefit the Atlantian Cavalry. 

Our next item for auction, to benefit the Atlantian Cavalry, is a stunning Italian Renaissance gown, with chemise, coin purse and carry bag. 

 

For pictures of the gown, see Auction Item #3, in the Photos section of the Friends of the Cavalry group site. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FriendsoftheCavalry/) 

 

This beautiful gown, of Midnight Blue satin with a bodice of dusty blue damask, hovers between a size 8 and a size 10. It hasn't been hemmed, of course, permitting you to make your own adjustments in that area. The tie-on sleeves are cuffed with the same delicate damask as the bodice, creating a look of unification in the garment. The neckline is square, and the gown laces up the front. Lovely gold-colored metal beads adorn the ends of the sleeve ties. A coin purse of generous size accompanies the gown, and bears its own wealth along its edges. The simple chemise is also square-necked, and delicately trimmed at the opening. 

 

We apologize for what seems to be, in the photographs, a mis-match at the bodice opening. This resulted from pinning the gown to a mannikin to take photos. We guarantee that the two sides of the bodice are exactly the same size, and match each other perfectly. The fabric carry bag is sized to the gown, and will permit its travel to and from events, with a minimum of wrinkling (although we are told that wrinkles are period!), will keep the gown clean during its journey, and will occupy marginal space in your travel vehicle. As with any fine garment, this gown is Dry Clean Only, for safe care.

 

For all who plan to attend the Nottinghill Coill Baronial Birthday celebration, this coming weekend, October 21-23, the gown will be on display in the A&S area.
