Character: Gwendolyn Bishop
Larp: Blackpowder and Bloodlines (game 3)
In games 1&2 of Blackpowder and Bloodlines I played my preist charcter, Genevieve Gillroy. This year I decided I wanted to experience different aspects that this larp had to offer as it will only we played over a 5 year story arc, with 1 game per year.
After a lot of planning, deliberation and changing of ideas, I came out with Gwendolyn.
Her outfit is pretty much completely made by me, including the layers underneath that you can’t see. The entire outfit consists of:
A white cotton chemise, white stockings, handmade stays, two pockets, a bum roll, a cotton underskirt, a grey linen skirt, a grey/brown coat (lined with linen), very slightly tea-dyed apron and wool arm warmers. My cute hat is from Mytholon.
Would you like a post showing all the different layers?

I’ve launched a new jewelry line called The Josephine collection, named after Napoleon’s lovely wife. These are very accurate reproductions of Georgian and Regency-era jewelry, using the best materials I can get my hands on, including my new custom-made collet settings, which are the most accurate on the market. I’m so pleased with how lovely everything is and even more pleased that they are so versatile. I hope you’ll check out my reproduction jewelry.
