Seeking to borrow Colonial / pirate wear for men and women

[beloitst.livejournal.com]

The Post-Meridan Radio Players are performing "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" set in 1790s Tarrytown, New York. Unfortunately, the costume designer [me, Wendy] has broken my ankle, which has interrupted plans to make the the costumes for the show.

I am now on a desperate search to borrow items for the show, and I am reaching out to the wider community for help. Between all the pirate aficionados, LARPers, and reenactors in our wider community, I hope folks will lend me a hand. Most important need is men's coats and boots, followed by vests, and then women's gowns or bodices / skirts.

Sleepy Hollow: Ride Across America opens on Oct 9th and runs through Oct 20th. We would be looking to pick up and collect costume pieces by Oct. 1st. All items will be dry cleaned before returning to their owner.

If you have something you might be willing to loan, please contact me directly at wendy.suzanne@gmail.com. Alternatively, if you happen to sew and would be willing to take on a sewing project (volunteer/unpaid) to be completed by Oct 8th, this would also be a tremendous help. You can also help by just spreading the word of our need!

For more information, check out http://www.sleepyhollow2011.com/ or contact Wendy with any questions.

Sincerely,

Wendy Misuinas (wendy.suzanne@gmail.com)

Did you get the skirt from Chris? My other thought is a really nice plea to T@F / Elizabeth to perhaps borrow some frock coats.

I have not yet gotten it from him but I know that we have it.

I will contact T@F though.

You'll have more luck if you take off the friends-lock so that people with feedreaders can see this post!
