So, I promised some more costume photos. This is part of the clothes I made for Dis, my Kir-character.
Kir, or Kampen i Ringen (The combat in the Ring - yeah, it sounds better in Swedish :p ) is a viking larp campaign that is been runnings since around 2002-2003, with at least 3 larps each year. The largest and longest one is in July.
I went to Kir the first time in 2008, and since 2009 I have played Dis Långe, for whom these clothes were made.
Dis is a gydja, and she was forced to marry a priest for political reasons. She was not very happy about that, but her brother (who is also the head of the Långe family) bribed her a bit with money for good wedding clothes.
So, I made a yellow dress in thin wool, and with brokade on the sleeves. The fabric is checkerd, which could have been used during the viking era. Some findings of uni-coloured checkered fabrics have been made. I chose yellow because it is one of Långes colours. The dress is held in place by the neck with a pin shaped like a snake.
The apron dress is made of a thicker blue wool, because blue is Dis' favourite colour. I used the same brokade as for the dress. For the hems I used a beige wool yarn that complimentes the brokade. The beads were also chosen for Dis and goes mostly in blue and green. She also has the needle house that was given to her as a bethroval gift from her husband.
Both dresses are sewn by hand.
The red belt is also made by hand, but not by me. It was made to me by a friend, and is based on a pattern found in a similar belt from Birka.
I also made a gown in fine, thin, white wool. I did not wear this as the photo shoot however, since it was very warm that day. Instead, I'm wearing a gown made in half linen-half cotton. It was also made for Dis, but for the first larp.
This photo was taken in Visby in August 2019, by Emelie Axelsson.
