ANGELA'S COMMENTS
this is a wonderful design with the orange colour , purple colour and black lion on the front all coming together perfectly. The lion is an inspired piece of craft work and shows how the designer really has brought this Viking dress into its own.
I like this one the best of your entries, but I wish you had entered the apron dress with the ravens, because that's my all-time favorite! You're an inspiration, Ang!
Haha, unfortunately my raven dress is wool, and this is a linen contest. Thanks though, I do love that one also!
This is an awesome accurate period costume. Way beyond the normal tunic,apron dress etc.
This design shows how a basic white material can be used to make a perfect garment and the use of the cotton cording for upholstery and dyeing it red just add another dimension to this creation.
I thought this was an interesting thing for someone to research and recreate, plus the way it was used in the ceremony at hand was beautiful. Many points to you! It was really neat!

As always, Angela does AWESOME work! Stunning!
