Death Eater Robes for Christev... no, not really

[apollinav]

But they look like Death Eater robes.

Christev picked out black-on-black brocade she wanted for her robes and a blue satin lining (which is folded up on the end of the ironing board.)  And I was thinking as I was cutting out the hood here, that despite the bright blue lining - they are going to look like DE robes.

I've only partially started my violet linen robes.  I think I'm going to add lace and a cutesy crocheted neckline.  So while Christev will show up to the Hogsmeade Witches Weekend as a Death Eater-wannabe, I'll look like a friend of Umbridge.  I'm not sure which one will instill more fear into people.

On a side note, I have the time and ability to make robes and cloaks.  So if you want something made, contact me at my email or shoot me a message on lj.  Christev wanted a hybrid between the two, so she's getting a full length robe, with long witchy pendant sleeves, a hood, and a throat clasp.  I also have a few Mischief Managed capes already made, including a gorgeous Navy Merino wool cape lined with featherweight lavender silk and hemmed entirely by hand. 

Photograph was taken by a very ignored husband.  Between the writing and the sewing he gets very little time.

I sometimes write assuming mind readers. The folks hubby had over were here very late last night. Late nights wear me out.

I understand perfectly. And company gets tiring especially when they stay late.
