The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

So - I'm volunteering at the Faire all four weekends. And while the current job I'm going to be doing doesn't strictly require garb, I've been planning on buying a Faire dress for quite some time. Actually, I had intended to buy one this summer, for the PA Faire, so I just have to move my plans up a bit.

Now - I'm at a loss as to which to get. The one I had decided on I went with primarily because a) I liked it; and b) I could get it at about 30% off. I can't anymore, which means I can play a little more.

There's the Celtic dress, which was my original pick, and the cheapest of the three. I'd get it in hunter and kelly green.

There's the Flemish dress, with hat, which I would probably get in blue. My biggest concern with this one is that the style, in velvet no less, isn't the most forgiving, and may serve to emphasize the fact that I have not yet lost weight off my lower abs or hips (everywhere else, yes - just not there).

Third and finally, there's the Abita di Firenze Gown, possibly accompanied with the headband fall. No clue what color I'd go with, although green and gold sounds good, as does blue and silver. Or maybe green and silver. No chemise needed for this one, either, so it's actually cheaper than the Flemish dress. Also, while it's more formal, it's not too formal, and it's a very comfortable style.

I'll get to wear this for at least five weekends - four for the VA faire, and at least one at the PA faire. Chances are good that I'll buy a second dress next year. Thoughts, opinions?
