As for formal use I'd say it'd be fairly contemporary but you'd get away with it. :rolleyes:
Do you have an event in mind?
Erin.
I bought this pelt at a local leather and fur trading store, but found an online source at better prices. Like about $20 usd. The tail doesn't realy lend itself to splitting and using as side pieces, and the pelt is a bit small to give extra pieces where the grain of the fur runs right. A larger animal would give you enough though.

I don't have a specific formal event in mind but I did acquire a second- (or third) hand PC and a thrift store wing collar so I'm all ready except for the bowtie. A mask sporran can be used for day or evening (as long as they don't look too close. If I do this again Ill probably try to include eyes, per Cavscout's comment above
