Aki Reinii bought me this *beautiful* Ren Faire dress for Christmas 2021, once we realized we very much enjoyed going to renaissance faires as a group. (I mean, there isn't really too much we don't enjoy doing as a group, but ren faires especially are right up our alley.) I especially love this one because the flower detail that edges the lacing remind me of the flower print on my childhood dirndl. This is an Irish inspired dress, rather than a German one, and the other reason I loved it is that it looked a little bit to me like something Heather from the movie Highlander might wear (though I'm aware that's Scotland rather than Ireland). At any rate, it's beautiful, the fabric is incredibly soft, and it was nice to wear something that made me feel pretty and feminine after spending my last Ren Faire being a touch arrogant and masculine (Eugene).
