I made this in 2000 or 2001 for a Renaissance Faire in Anderson, CA. I didn't get to go to the Faire, but I have worn it many times since then, and lent it out many times as well! It's been a great costume.

It has three pieces: shirt, vest and skirt. I did make the hat, but to be honest it looks terrible, so I never wear it. I typically wear the dress with a big fluffy petticoat and I carry my "musket" around with me.
