Cheap and easy: Fabric glue with glitter over it. More expensive Christmas ribbons and small decorative trims by-the-yard. If the show is after Christmas, the trim usually is on sale. Donated buttons make nice jewelry, also.

Can you think of different ways we can decorate these gowns so they don't all look the same? Plus they need to look grand because we will be on stage under lights. I am still working out what to dress the men in, and fear they will not want to wear short doublets and tights :(( *Aylwen* * * *Aylwen's Historical Costumes* www.aylwen.com http://aylwen.blogspot.com * * *Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy* www.earthlydelights.com.au http://edhda.eventbrite.com * * _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
