Medieval Fashions of the Cat World

There is something going on right now called "Maid Marian's wardrobe", An online medieval fashion event, and lots of people will be writing posts having to do with medieval styled clothing.
This is a post written for the Maid Marian fashion event, all the costumes were hand crafted and designed specially for the event. Although it has a kitty twist!

This lovely cat is wearing what was very common among maids in the medieval era.
Note the lace around the collar, and the pink ribbon bow. The hat is as well of the medieval era.
In this view you can see the ruffled lace better around her collar. Her cape is made of a silky fabric. The cape can be worn in both winter and summer and should be worn to a fancy event.
This hat is normally not meant to cover cat ears, it is a real style but it looks like it is meant for a cat.

All cats in this fashion event are volunteers, they are getting paid the same amount salary as other models. The costumes were matched with their personality so they feel as comfortable in costume as possible. Come back tomorrow for more medieval cat fashion updates.
