After several unsuccessful shopping trips for garb both in and out of festivals, the Wench decided to take matters into her own hands and make her own. After a bit of research and a considerate amount of tinkering, she came up with these dresses for some off-season wanderings (with some unpredictable effects on the local population - the Alexandria Ghost Tours will never be the same). These items are now available for ordering - the double skirt sells for $65, and a single skirt (without the attached underskirt) sells for $35. Orders can be submitted here.

Going in Garb
If you're going to go to Gadsby's Tavern in garb, go in style

Portrait by the fireplace
Gadsby's Tavern is an authentic 18th century inn. Though we were several hundred years behind the times, style-wise, we still got a 10% discount for being in costume (though the wench repeatedly asked the waitress "What costume?")

Blue Tartan Skirt
This is a single garment, with the tartan stitched up for a layered look shown with the diagonal scarf

The rustic look of Old Town Alexandria makes it a natural place for going about in garb

Then again, maybe not (though as easy as it is to feel like a misplaced time traveller here whislt visiting in garb, it's even more confusing for Joe Tourist from Peoria stumbling across wenches and pirates in front of paddlewheel steamboats who's just trying to find Ben and Jerry's)

Here the Wench is having some poor soul brought before the Court of Common Pleas, dressed for success in a light blue double skirt with lace trim

Though, as you can see here, even the best garb won't help if you're on the wrong side of the Court
