  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

She's just a town's woman extra. The costume is one of those "authentic" patterns you could use at a Renaissance festival.

The chemise/undergarment is similar to this (only with a ruffle at the bottom and the elastic (which is not authentic ;) ) is above and below the elbow, not at the wrist.

The overskirt is like the overskirt in these pictures, made out of black brocade with red/blue/tan/green flowers.

She has a black and blue corset already. We tried to match the brocade material for the skirt with the corset.

Very cool, thanks for the links! My next project is a costume for a "Russian Doll". Cossack pants, shirt, sash (possibly a vest) and BOOTS that would fit over ballet slippers (with elastic underneath to hold them on). I'm glad my mom is coming down here next week to help!

:wave: Hi, Arial!! Happy Birthday in advance. I've never had any probs with anyone trying to track me down, but I'm afraid of giving out too much info on forums that can be read by ANYONE. We often have a false sense of security thinking we talking only to those who post, but I sometimes notice that the forum count for members signed on is a few hundred yet those online are in the thousands!! Who knows who reads what we post here?

I'm going on a rep rampage! I've been off for a bit and owe alot of generous folks some reps. :)

I knew I hadn't seen you for a while, but I didn't know if you were busy doing staff-y kinds of things. Hope all is well!
