Brooch?
I wore the outfit to the Ohio Ren faire as planned (I was there last Sunday). I was basically wearing a "blanket" 12' long x 5' high, belted at the waist. The portion above the belt was pulled up the front and rear of my left shoulder and fastened with a very long hat pin (5" or so). I was wearing wooly gray knee-high socks and sandals.
I will post a pic soon, the gal that took pics hasn't sent them to me yet.
Question: since my "blanket" was soooo big, there was a lot of fabric to pin together at the shoulder. The 5" pin worked. I would like something a little nicer and have looked at several metal brooches. Frankly, the "pin" part of most of these are just too light-weight for the job. Hence, do you know of a heavier brooch that is reasonably authentic that is actually made for a kilt of my design?
