Event details
The Barony Beyond the Mountain invites you to come show us your costuming skills.
The seamstresses and seamsters of the east will take up the challenge to create a complete set of garments, from the skin out, in 18 hours. Teams of 1-6 active members are to start at 8pm on Friday, and continue to 4pm Saturday. Team members are expected to remain on site during the competition. At the close of the sewing portion of the competition, each team will present their final outfit to the judges and populace. They will be expected to show and explain all layers in as succinct and expeditious a manner as possible. Additional presentations are welcome, but will be done while the judges are sequestered after the show. Once the judges have reached a decision, Their Excellencies of BBM will hold court, and the winners will be announced.
