What to do with a train...

[lovetriangle]

Ok, the Pfalzgräfin Dorothea Sabina von Neuburg dress from JA's PoF has a train. And I like it. I've cut my skirt with a train but the reality is that I'll be wearing this outdoors over dirt, rocks, twigs, etc. 

I've see the Holbein sketch of the Tudor dress kirtled up in the back but I've never seen anything showing later period dresses pinned up. Is there such an example out there? Or any such evidence as to what late period ladies did with their trains out of doors? I really don't want to cut the skirt straight but I will if kirtling was just not done around 1600.

Hi there - someone else on my f-list just linked to this gorgeous costume:

and in reading about it, I saw a link to your LJ, and finally connected the two! I look through your costumes and wow, they are all gorgeous.

But I have to say I'm totally taken with that pink Augsburg dress - the color scheme and the style just make my brain happy for some reason! Beautiful job on it! Just wanted to say so! :-)

Thank you so very much!

That dress is so much fun to wear, too! The color is very happy and the skirt is very flippy, and I just love wearing it. I feel like a pretty, pretty princess! Every girl should have a pretty pink dress. :-)
