Let's get some medieval clothes

Over my brother’s Christmas break, he showed my mother and me the television show Merlin. It’s a twist on the story of Merlin, King Arthur, and Camelot. In the series, Arthur isn’t king yet. He’s the heir to the Camelot throne, young, early 20s, and Merlin is around the same age. Magic is outlawed forcing Merlin to practice his skills undercover, all the while protecting Arthur from peril. Naturally, we’ve become obsessed with the show. But I’m not writing this post to recommend the show. To be quite honest, I’m not sure I would recommend it. It’s rather predictable, and every third or fourth episode is painful to watch. The show is more of a guilty pleasure for us (and I gave up soap operas this year, so I think I'm due a TV guilty pleasure). I am writing to tell you of and show you the phenomenal clothes in the show. My mother and I just drool over the dresses! We’ll be watching the show, and I’ll realize that I have no idea what’s going on in the episode because I’ve been staring incessantly as Morgana’s dresses. Take a look!








But our favorite dress of the series so far is the one below. It belongs to the sinister Morgause.





Aren’t they spectacular?! These dresses are making me think of taking up sewing. Maybe if I start soon I could have a whole wardrobe of medieval clothes in time for the Texas Renaissance Festival in the fall. Hmmm…I will keep y’all posted!
