This weekend, the Barony of Ponte Alto in the Kingdom of Atlantia, held the The Tournament of the Lily, a 15th c. themed Pas d'Armes. I think this event was one of the highest concentrations of well-dressed, common period attendees.
This was achieved in part by several Ponte Alto artisans (including the Baron and Baroness, our own James B and azpapilion) hosting clothing and hatmaking workshops in the weeks leading up to the event. Great feats of millinery were achieved!
After the tournament, a scrumptious feast was served, and Jeff J ran the service to the high table, in the style from the Boke of Keryunge. We've done this at LH events, but having a hall full of people, and a high table full of upper class ladies and gentlemen wearing fancy hats was quite a bit of fun.
As was usual, I didn't take out my camera nearly as much as I'd intended, but I have a few good shots. You can all throw tomatoes at me, since I didn't actually get any pictures of Tasha K in her fabulous new gown and hat.
I also have no pictures of the fighters or the combatants. But at very least, I'll post what I have and beg others who were there to post theirs!My old fur-lined V-neck gown plus my new hat and hood:
(This was the hood I was looking at replicating.)

Some of the assembled ladies. This picture was taken late in the day, after a lot of people left. This is probably only half of the women dressed in 1470s style dresses with fancy hats.
