I haven't updated my webpage in a while I see... sorry...
My personal life has been rather out of sorts since the death of my grandmother. I do apologize to all the people who tried to reach me while I was dealing with that.
I have been doing back to back weekend events, and am probably a little "punch drunk" as a result, so if you have not heard from me about an order please try again!
Last weekend I was in Kentucky at a small gathering and had a great time! Lovely people, nice weather... I have great hopes of going back there soonish! In the meantime I hope everyone had a good and safe trip home.
We are adding new trims, for the first time in a long time, and I am VERY excited about them! We have new Greek Key trims, and new trims suitable for later period costuming, and some really luscious velvet piping... and a whole lot more.
We are especially happy to have some trims, suitable for SCA use, that are reflective. They look like ordinary , perhaps a trifle plain, trims, but after dark they reflect headlights or flashlights to about 100 yards! I have had too many close calls heading to the porta-johns at camping events not to appreciate that! While some of the trims are "obviously" safety/reflective trims, many of them would pass the ten foot rule for costuming.. they just look like colored ribbon with a silver band in the center! The silver-grey reflective piping is especially nice looking, nice enough to use for its own sake... but the added safety features are astounding!
Important Note!
Chirurgeons, Emergency Response Personnel, and any SCA or festival members whose duties may require them to be in harm's way should make a point of inquiring about a special discount on reflective trims! Fabric Dragon supports all of our medical and safety personnel... Support safe events by supporting the people who make our events safe!
Finally, in the "not even remotely period" trim category, we have some eye popping colors of reflective trims, AND some trims with dazzle strips in them, that reflect any light, even in daylight, into a shimmering rainbow of color. (I don't think they photograph well, you may need to see a sample to appreciate them) These trims are going to look absolutely astonishing around a big bonfire...
