I bought one of the Deepeeka "evening gowns" from LaWrens last summer.<br>
<br>
On the positive side, It isn't all that expensive and the Doubling and brass hooks work and seem to look "good enough" for most people.<br>
<br>
I took off the arms as they were too small and about 8" off of the bottom.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have also just purchased an oversized standard Renfair type maille shirt off of E-bay for cheap money which will also need to have sections removed.<br>
<br>
I also make butted maille shirts on occassion.<br>
as a result I will be able to combine the leftovers of these two with another patch of 3/8 that I already have and get a 3rd maille shirt .<br>
3 butted hamata's for under $400<br>
<br>
My goal for the Auxilliary contingent of our legion is to eventually have a smaller version of Dan Petersons "Traveling supply room", and have enough equipment for 5 or 6 Auxilliaries.<br>
<br>
My personal goal is to buy a generic riveted maille shirt next year.<br>
