Dress You Up In My LARP

And now, your annual chance to dress [livejournal.com profile] ladysprite up in your clothes and watch what happens!

(No, nothing tawdry; I am in serious need of some costuming help for Intercon in March, and would appreciate any help anyone could offer.)

Item 1: I have been cast as a "saloon girl" in an Old West-style game. Being one of perhaps five women in fandom/gaming who does not own a corset, this is proving rather difficult to pull off with just the stash in my costume closet. I have some mediocre stuff that could work in a pinch, if I could borrow a crinoline, but that's a last resort.

So, does anybody have anything... well, saloon-girl-y, in a size smallish, that I could borrow? Or, barring that, a crinoline?

Item 2: Does anybody have a set of fairy wings that I could borrow? I'd be more than willing to buy my own, but given how far we are from Halloween and Ren Faire season, they're proving a bit hard to find.

Thanks in advance, and payment offered in the form of gratitude, praise, and baked goods.....

I have a pair of very tiny fairy wings. Probably about a foot and a half across that go on with elastics like the world's flimsiest backpack. I also have a pair of black crinolines I am unlikely to use for my current casting in my games.

Do you want me to bring them?

We've got a selection of fairy wings :-)

Michelle's got a whole bunch of them. Obviously, some will be too small for you, but she's got some larger ones as well that you might like.

Wanna come over some evening and see if anything appeals to you?

They have relatively inexpensive corset and crinoline type skirts as well. I haven't bought one yet, but my friends who have say their quality is excellent.

I have some purple sparkly rather large fairy wings, if you want to borrow them. They will probably be huge on you, and may need the elastics reattached.

I have to admit surprise that you have neither a corset nor fairy wings.

I do not have either to lend, but this way I get to wave hello to ladymondegreen!!!!!!

And to you, of course!!!!!

I'd love to help you, but let's face it, if we dressed you up in my clothes it would just appear that you'd decided to go camping and couldn't afford a proper tent. :)

I'll see if I can find my corset? If I can find it you can use it but I'm really not sure where it is or what happened to it so finding it may come as a challenge. Also, it's *purple* leather...
