Perhaps she first caught your eye dressed in SCA garb, or maybe he looked dashing in his SCA armor. It could be that you were both wearing Renaissance costumes and enjoying a stroll through your local Faire when he captured your heart. Since then, time has passed and you’re ready to tie the knot. If you’re a fan of olden times, perhaps you’re thinking of having a medieval wedding.

If so, you’re not alone. More couples than ever are celebrating the beginning of their life together in full Renaissance costumes. And even the guests are getting in on the act, playing their parts and dressing in period garb. If your nuptials will have a medieval flair, you need the proper clothing and accessories. Here are some guidelines to get you started.

For Him

One of the most romantic looks for the groom is a cotton lace-up wedding shirt. For extra elegance, look for a shirt with rows of tiny tucks going down the sleeves and below the lace-up front. The shirts usually come in natural, black, and white, so he can wear the color appropriate to the season and time of day of your wedding. If he prefers a button front or you want a greater selection of colors, you can find a wedding shirt replete with tiny tucks that has three buttons going down the neckline. These shirts are often available in navy, grey, brown, mustard, teal, plum, wine, and forest green – one of which is sure to go with your wedding color scheme.

As for pants, depending on the season and time of day, you can opt for long twill breeches or knee-length twill breeches. The former are baggy, and usually feature both a button front and a drawstring at the waist, as well as drawstring cuffs. As the name implies, knee-length twill breeches have cuffs that tie just below the knee. You can typically buy them in a wide variety of colors, such as royal blue, tan, black, burgundy, or forest green.

For Her

For the Renaissance bride, it starts with the chemise. There are a wide variety of styles from which to choose, but one that’s popular features sheer fabric that has demi sleeves and a sweetheart rose at the center of the neckline. For a more formal touch, there are chemises that feature extraordinarily long, hanging sheer sleeves and a gathered neckline. Similarly, a chemise with metallic gold trim at the square neckline is eye-catching.

As for your gown, you can go with something as simple as a cotton twill surcoat or as ornate as an Irish dress with a fleur-de-lis brocade bodice. You may even want to create your own gown; if so, there are numerous patterns from which you can choose.

For Both of You

If you’re planning a medieval wedding, you’ll also need the proper accessories. Dragons symbolize passion, monogamy, and love, so incorporating dragons into the ceremony or reception is wonderfully appropriate. Perhaps you’d like to wear a dragon double heart pendant, or you would like to use two dragon goblets for your toast.

If you’re having a traditional ceremony, you’ll most likely need handfasting cords, which will be used to bind you and your beloved’s hands together with each promise you make to one another.

With the right planning, there are many ways to incorporate Renaissance themes and costumes into your special day. Celebrate with gusto!

Shopping for a Custom Jacket

By , March 29, 2012 3:28 pm

Whether you’re in the market for one custom jacket for yourself, enough for an entire team of little leaguers, or a company 1,000 employees, one thing remains the same: you’re in need of a quality jacket at an affordable price.
custom jackets, Shopping
Whether you’re in the market for one custom jacket for yourself, enough for an entire team of little leaguers, or a company 1,000 employees, one thing remains the same: you’re in need of a quality jacket at an affordable price. Jackets will fall into dozens of price categories within scores of quality types, so being confident that you are getting the most for your dollar is essential.

After deciding on a generalized price point per custom jacket, you’ll need to decide on a jacket style. From “Letterman?styles of jackets, to full zip fleece, to “coaches?jackets and everything in between, you have a lot of choices to contemplate before making your final decision. If you are uncertain in any way as to making this important decision, you will need to contact someone who knows the ins and outs of the custom jacket industry.

And while you’re looking for such a contact, look for a company that stands out amongst the masses- one in which each and every employee is trained in each and every aspect of the business at hand. Having one person who knows you from the first phone call until your custom order is in your hands is a bonus, but make sure that your person isn’t too specialized, for if they fall ill or take a vacation, you want to make sure your questions and concerns are answered to in a timely manner.

On another note, be sure to find a company that doesn’t “nickel and dime you to death?with small fees that can add up to take a good chunk out of your checkbook. The low price on the jacket itself can quickly skyrocket when you add in any artwork fees and/or set-up fees, typesetting, or something that you’ve never even heard of.

Don’t be afraid to ask to see a “proof?of your finished design before the art goes to press. If something isn’t quite as you had envisioned it to be, it will be much easier to change it now rather than after your jacket is printed. Also, be sure to get the price for the finished product in writing before signing and agreeing to your purchase.

Guarantees and warrantees always seem to add a finishing touch, creating a warm feeling inside, relieving any worries you may have. Price guarantees are the most well-known, offering you financial reimbursement in the event that you find an identical item somewhere else (some will even increase the amount they give you back just for your troubles).

Finally, a company that will give you references of satisfied customers is a company that has a focus on customer service. Customer service is an essential part of any custom industry, including custom jackets.

Swords, Daggers, and Knives Complete Renaissance Costumes

By , March 27, 2012 3:30 pm

Medieval swords and daggers add just the right finishing touch to Renaissance costumes.
Renaissance Costumes, Medieval swords, Pirate Costumes, SCA armor, SCA garb, Medieval Wedding, daggers, swords
Whether you’re dressing for a medieval wedding or completing your Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) garb, medieval swords and daggers add just the right finishing touches to an outfit. Yet there are so many different types of weapons that it’s sometimes hard to choose. Here is some information that will help you find just what you need.

Swords

When it comes to swords, the options are virtually endless. Whether you’re outfitting your SCA armor or finding accessories for pirate costumes, it’s important to recognize that some swords are constructed for appearance, while others are forged for combat. In other words, you need to know whether you want a sword that is purely decorative, or one that will be effective in competitions and exhibitions.

Beyond that, there are a number of distinctive sword styles. Scottish Claymore swords, for example, are both heavy and long, and are usually stored in sheaths and carried over the back. The Claymore was initially a straight, double-edged sword featuring a cross hilt with the guards turned downward, but is also the name used for a basket hilt sword with a single edge.

Japanese samurai swords, on the other hand, feature curved blades and grips that are wrapped in silk. Held in lacquered scabbards, both the katana and tachi are long and single-edged, while the wakizashi is a shorter sword.

When it comes to medieval swords, many people prefer legendary swords, designed after those carried by Joan of Arc, Richard the Lionhearted, Robin Hood, and others. Other people are inspired by mythic beings and fantasy warriors, and thus are drawn to fantasy swords, while those who want to be impeccable in their SCA armor choose accurate historical reproductions of swords that can cut through planks.

Daggers

When selecting daggers to complete your costumes, there’s a wide variety from which to choose. For example, there are stilettos, which were carried by the upper class in the 17th century, and the main gauche, which was used in the Renaissance as a left-handed weapon to defend oneself and which features an ornate hilt guard. In addition, there are eating daggers, which typically incorporate black antler or white bone handles, and bodice daggers, which are sewn into the bodice or corset. English-style daggers usually have a blade length of about ten inches, and often feature wire-wrapped handles.

Buying Swords and Daggers

When it comes to purchasing swords and daggers, it’s best to find a source that has a wealth of experience in Renaissance costumes, pirate costumes, and medieval swords. The best selection and greatest knowledge base can be found online, most likely from a company that specializes in costumes and chivalry sports. There, you will find the best selection at all price points, ranging from economical decorative weaponry to authentic replicas of period pieces. These specialty sites often have a wealth of information, such as a Renaissance Faire finder and links to other resources, that will enable you to get the most enjoyment from your costumes and weaponry.

Shirts: White Collars, Blue Collars, and others

Shirts: White Collars, Blue Collars, and others…

  by:- Luke Mayes

If you’re unsure about what color your collar should be – the short answer is to have options. Your choice of color is one of the most important considerations when choosing the style of your business shirt collar.

White Collars

For a white shirt, the collar should always be white and made from the same fabric as the rest of the shirt. The only exception to this rule is the tuxedo shirt which may incorporate another white (textured) fabric for the shirt front (bib) and the cuffs.

The white shirt was previously a uniform requirement at IMB and a plain white shirt still communicates efficiency, aptitude, and professionalism.

For stripes, checks and solid colors, Gordon Gecko’s contrast white collar is still a great look on Wall Street. A contrast white collar (with white cuffs) is all about the big city, big deals, and big money. If you’re visiting a big city from a smaller city, a contrast white collar can communicate that you’re a genuine player and not intimidated by the big smoke.

If, on the other hand, you’re visiting a smaller city from New York, the contrast white collar can be a big turn off to blue collar management. Gecko’s, “Greed is good,” mantra appeals to some, but not to all. You don’t want to come across as a slick, big city executive when you’re selling farming machinery in Arkansas.

Blue Collars

When dealing with manufacturing operations as well as businesses in smaller communities, a blue shirt (with a matching collar) is a staple ingredient in a businessman’s wardrobe.

Unlike the white shirt which often represents administrative efficiency, the blue collared shirt represents a connection with physical work, engineering, and problem solving. When visiting agricultural sites, a button down blue collar shirt (always worn with a single breasted jacket) conveys both respect and discretion – with or without a tie.

For those business situations that require your multi-faceted understanding of finance, administration, manufacturing, and sales, a light blue shirt will fit the bill.

Others…

There are a myriad plaids, stripes, checks, dots, weaves, and color combinations to choose from when you’re looking for a business shirt. If you don’t usually wear a tie, compliment a solid jacket (or suit) with a bright, colorful shirt. If you wear ties, ensure that your tie and shirt do not compete for attention. An easy rule of thumb is to wear plainer shirts with busy ties and plainer ties with busy shirts.

Unless you’re latest recording has just gone platinum, be cautious of combining a busy suit, with a busy shirt, and a busy tie. That being said, if you’re confident in your own good taste, mix it up and show the world who you are. The choice of your collar color is sure to speak volumes about your personal style.

  • Collar width, length, and spread – framing different faces
  • Wingtip (or Wing) collars and other black tie options

Take care of your neck tie ?It’s important

By , March 21, 2012 3:24 pm

617

Wearing a neck tie is not all about you should know but to take appropriate care is necessary too that will make it possible for you to use the same tie for a longer period.
neck tie tying, instructions neck tie tying, tying neck tie, steps to tying a neck
Each time you get ready for your office you have to look whether you have got the right neck tie with your outfit and how much does the knot suits your personality. You can’t ignore this fact that neck tie is the most perishable item in your wardrobe. It’s important that you take appropriate care of it so that it lasts longer.

General rules –
If you purchase three or more ties then it would be better as you would be able to wear them alternatively. This will save from damaging your tie that you would wear daily.

When you keep your tie in the wardrobe then you should hang it with the suit or outfit that goes with it by draping it around the collar of the coat.

While you wear the tie you should repeat the same tie after a gap of two or three days because this will prevent from unnecessary crease and wrinkles.

Storage rules ?
Always keep your neck tie in tie hangers (usually seen in shops) because these hold a single tie and reduce the chance of wrinkles.

You should never leave the ties with knots as it will crease the fabric of the tie and make it unmanageable next time when you wear.

Each time you open up your wardrobe try to move the ties you have hanged up because this will prevent from unnecessary creases.

When you return back home after a days long work remember to take out your tie knot and hang it properly.

Check if your tie is of silk fabric then hang it otherwise in case of knitted ties you should lay it flat or roll up and keep in a drawer instead of hanging it. Roll the narrow end of the tie first and leave it for a day or two as this will remove most of the wrinkles.

Cleaning rules ?
You should not give a tie away for dry cleaning because most of the cleaners remove the spots but at the same time they press the tie, in turn it compresses the lining and dulls the luster of the silk fabric. Never press your tie as this will diminish the overall appearance of the tie by making the “roll?at each edge a “crease?

If you have water spots on your tie you can easily rub that small end with a same piece of fabric on the spot or gently scarp the surface with your fingernail.

If you got stains on the tie you just need to dip a clean cloth napkin in club soda and then dab away the stained portion.

For tough stains, you should apply steam from an iron taking care that the tie fabric doesn’t touches the iron or you can hold the tie over a boiling kettle and then use dry spot remover as per the instructions on the pack. For something even tougher you can use spot remover such as carbon tetrachloride.

To remove grease, you can sprinkle a little talcum powder on the spot and leave it to absorb. After some time you can brush off the residue with the help of clean soft cloth.

Untying rules ?
When you untie your neck tie you should never slip the small end out of the knot which decreases its longevity.

Unknot your tie by taking it off by reversing it and never slip it over your head or remove it by pulling on the small end.

Never leave your tie unknotted when you remove them as it will cause permanent creases in the fabric.

That Chemical Bond Called Sexy Bra!

By , March 19, 2012 3:31 pm

Sometime, things just get so darn boring. It makes you see life like a 1950s movie without a touch of color to brighten up the day. But if you thought that there’s no way you can perk up, think again.
sexy bras
Sometime, things just get so darn boring. It makes you see life like a 1950s movie without a touch of color to brighten up the day. But if you thought that there’s no way you can perk up, think again.

Resort to some things that will cheer you up, boost your confidence, and eventually make a life that is full of life!

For ladies out there, you may opt for a sexy bra instead of the usual types of brasseries that you have. Most fashion experts contend that wearing sexy things like a sexy bra will definitely make you feel sexy.

However, the big question is: what makes a sexy bra? Is it the material, the design, the color, or the person who is wearing it?

Some of you might prefer to answer with the latter choice in mind. But nevertheless, sexy bra is still a bra and needs a little more positive characteristics to give you the support and comfort that you need.

So, when choosing a sexy bra, it is still important to consider these following pointers so that you’ll not only feel sexy but confident and comfortable as well.

1. When you want to show some flesh and your sexy bra might just do the job for you, consider the color of your tops and your sexy bra as well. Do not show beige sexy bra straps under spaghetti-strap tops.

2. Do not wear plastic strap sexy bras with halter-tops. It will not be a pretty sight even if you are wearing a sexy bra.

3. A single hook looks very neat, but it is not practical for fuller busts. A fastening with two or three hooks is much comfortable and supportive even during some hot steamy nights.

4. All straps should have adjustable levels fort the hooks to accommodate fluctuation of weight or washing changes. A stretch sexy bra with Lycra will get bigger over time and may not look sexy anymore, so does a sexy bra woven with a firm cotton material.

5. Women often wear sexy bras that are too tight thinking that it will give their breasts that needed lift. This should not be the case. A sexy bra can give you that much needed lift to show off those eye-popping cleavage at the same time fits just right. With this, you do not only look sexy but more confident.

6. Have a wardrobe of sexy bra. Think of the occasion that will call for it. Sexy bra looks good with laces on and looks even great with evening gowns or even with a simple night lingerie.

Have fun with it!

7. Remember that if your sexy bra lets your breast bulge above the cup or out of the sides near the armpits, creating lumps under the clothes, then the cups are too small.

8. On the other hand, if the cup material puckers or the breast doesn’t entirely fill a molded cup, then it is just too big.

9. Likewise, if your sexy bra rides up in the back and is higher than the front, then the band is too long.

10. A nice, comfy sexy bra should never leave red marks on the skin after it’s taken off because it means that your sexy bra is just too small.

11. A colorful, laced sexy bra is a definite turn-on. But remember not to wear then under a white or light-colored shirt. This will not make a good impression on you.

12. Do use a matching halter bra and pull it down with a low-back adaptor. This will definitely make you look sexy and cool.

There you have it! Just follow these simple rules on the dos and don’ts of wearing sexy bra and you’ll never have an embarrassing moment. Indeed, a sexy bra partnered with a confident wearer equals a one hot summer night.

That is what chemistry is all about!

The Trend: Clothing You Can Wear Right Away

Youngsters can size up the back-to-school shopping trend in three words: Wear It Now.
The Trend: Clothing You Can Wear Right Away
Youngsters can size up the back-to-school shopping trend in three words: Wear It Now.

Teens and preteens are looking for the immediate shopping gratification of purchasing clothing they can wear right now. “A good idea for parents is to split the back-to-school budget into summer and fall shopping trips,” suggests T.J. Maxx Fashion Spokesperson Laura McDowell. “Stock up on the trends for warmer weather now and then later add the sweaters, sweatshirts and other heavier items as the weather changes.”

The layered look is absolutely the top fashion statement. Start with lace camies and add dress-length shirts, deep V-neck sweaters and hoodies. You’ll be seeing up to three layers of various textures and pieces.

In August and September, gals will want to start with a tank or lace camisole and build upon the layering effect with the season’s hottest new favorite-the tunic. Tunics elongate the overall ensemble, with many ranging in length from 26 to 34 inches. Look for polka dots, florals and solids in muted shades such as gray, brown, olive and black. Tunics can be tank tops, short sleeved or long sleeved; the key is their length.

When it comes to bottoms, the long shorts will certainly continue to be a popular choice in early fall.

Other top choices for back to school are skinny leg jeans in darker washes, pencil skirts and leggings.

Tops will play an integral role in back-to-school fashions. Hooded fleece jackets and cropped hoodies for layering, as well as sweaters (oversized “boyfriend” knits in solids and stripes), all make the scene. The long cardigan, turtleneck, cowl neck and deep V necks are all perfect layering pieces.

As the gals enjoy layering-especially in a muted palette of color-guys seek urban and camo pieces. Again the colors are basic-camouflage green, olive, deep brown, black and gray. Hooded sweatshirts are still a favorite, but nonhooded zip-up jackets also make a statement. Jeans are both plain and embellished in a variety of washes. Logo tee shirts with screens and messages are top must-haves as well.

These super bedding outfits are available in sexy satin, comfortable cotton, fuzzy flannel, and everything in between!

Hip Hop culture, back in the day, became very well publicized by the media because of one fresh faced kid from Pennsylvania. The public liked him because of his music and because he was so cute and funny. See if you can guess who this mystery character is from a few clues. To be knowledgeable on Hip Hop news and music of the past makes you look informed, and on the edge about all aspects of Hip Hop. So let us begin the journey into the past.

Our mystery person was born in 1968 and from an early age, loved music. Later he met up with a guy at a party in 1987 and formed group. Do you have any ideas yet as to whom it could be? The first hit title had to do with rockin at a house, and it became a hit, going gold in 1988. Hip Hop culture was really impacted when he won an MTV (Music Television) Award for Best Rap. The release that won explained who the DJ was and who rapped in the group. Later the next year it was suspected his group might not survive in the Hip Hop music world because its music was changing to more of an aggressive style and beat.

In 1989, this fresh faced kid went into another area of performing ?acting. He really liked in Hollywood and being seen on TV in the US every week. At the same time, he made another record, and its title reminded you of baseball. He really had a Hip Hop hit on his hands with this one. Other hits and awards followed him for the next seven years in his career. One such summertime hit rung the bell for the Hip Hop music industry in 1991 by getting a gold and platinum award. In 1992, their jazzy group won a Best Rap Performance award too. If you cannot figure it out, just keep reading a little more ?you may be surprised to find out the mystery person’s identity.

In 1996, he rode a bullet into outer space in a box office movie hit. However, in 1997, along with his getting jiggy fame, our mystery man struck the big time in movies ?MIB (Men in Black). Do you know who it is? It is rapper/actor Will Smith. Smith propelled himself into star status, and both Hip Hop and Rap benefited from his talent. In 1998 in addition to having a hit movie with Enemy of the State, he was given the prestigious NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Outstanding Rap Artist Award. The awards for Hip Hop music and movies just keep coming for Will! Other awards came from the Peoples Choice Awards and the Grammy’s.

Will Smith’s role in Hip Hop gave a lot of recognition to the industry and the music of Hip Hop. Hip Hop music has changed from its early years but it is obvious Will Smith loves what he does, whether he gets jiggy with alien in a dance video, or dances as a Fresh Prince in Bel Air, he loves Hip Hop, and is a good mystery man of choice for Hip Hop.
