Awesome Kit I Have Actually Seen Part 1 (Esther and Nikki)

So, time to start some actual cool kit from the games i play and the friends i play them with.

First up is various bits by Esther Reeves.

This is for the LARP system Outcast, and the character (I think) is from some sort of fishing-y watery society. I love the multiple layers here giving a really interesting series of shapes, and it looks both practical, potentially slightly armoured, and very pretty.

This is one of several awesome bits of kit for PD's recently-ended Maelstrom game. Maelstrom's historical influences period wobbled about a fair bit between about 1600 and 1900 depending on what you were playing and i think this dress sits very neatly in it. It's actually a skirt and corset combination rather than a dress, and that gives it nice, even lines. Also this photo looks like she's up to something. This character was almost always up to something.

Esther makes various kit and costume pieces for women, men and kids of all sizes and shaped commercially through Mandala Studios or she can be contacted individually over her facebook page.

Another Maelstrom picture, this one an example of kit for (and by) a very expensive noblewoman, created and worn by the lovely Nikki.

Taken in the only dry, hot bit of the summer of 2012 this looks elegant and comfortable (though considering it includes a wig i'm not sure it was!)

And a modern bit of kit:

Really fun, really cool, looks like a woman on a mission. Which she probably was.
