Crown Tournament last fall in the East was in Maine. We'll talk more about the complications that brought to my life later, but this post is about before that.

| Lady Ada Wright is a hit at a Quintavian Demo |
Lady Ada Wright was being fought for in Crown by her boyfriend Lord Corwin Blackthorn and in trade for a lovely tablet woven belt (It says Fortune Favors the Bold, Fortune Favors the Brave, Fortune Favors the Bling) I made her a dress worthy of a Princess.
We decided on a Burgundian gown in red and white, her colors red and white. I found a gorgeous cream jacquard and a deep burgundy velvet.
This being an outdoor event. In October. In Maine. I wanted to make sure she had a very deep velvet guard along the bottom of her skirt. Here's a few shots of it in progress and the finished gown before the event.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find shots of her at Crown actually in the dress, but it was gorgeous.

Each hem section was shaped and stitched a the top "in the ditch" |

| One of the sleeves, again with a deep velvet cuff. |

| I also made a velvet belt with snaps to close it. |
