This has been an interesting and informative thread. I especially love the specifics and "rules" of the shawl.

I bet the Aes Sedai have 100s more that we never encountered in the books

I think I want to make a Min outfit for JordanCon. My hair is short now, shoulder length and dark brown. I'm going to keep it that way for a while as well so I think she would be a good choice. Any ideas on how to put together a Min costume?

 

I'd go for some kind of leggings for the breeches, they are described as very tight. Perferably in a silk-ish material, or possibly velvet/velour (not crushed). A satin shirt, I think she weers the shirts tucked in, but you can have it untucked if you feel like your bottom is a bit too exposed in leggings :P And then a blazer-style jacket in satin or velvet. And she wears "heeled boots" so I guess some kind of boots (not cowboys boots, sorry dear :P ) with a bit of chunky heel, but only 4-5 cm heel.

 

Her shirt is described as a mans shirt, but in silk, so it should probably be a baggy one like this:

Also there is supposed to be embroidery on the jacket collar, down the side of the pants and possibly also on the shirt, but that is optional I would say :P

 

Hope that helped

No cowboy boots?!

I don't think they are very Randland-ish, sorry doll :P But if you don't have anything else and don't want to buy something new just for that, it works :)

*laughs* I'm probably going to wear them anyway

[michellem]

You'll probably look fab no matter what you wear !
