Gaelic Games a.k.a. "black feis"

This weekend I will travel to Killarney to participate in the Gaelic Games feis!

The rules are: no dresses, no stiffener, no embroidery, no glitter... Only simple black skirts and tops or simple black dresses are allowed.
So, here is my outfit :-) Of course, I'll be wearing some tights to cover my ghostly white legs... I bought the T-shirt, but I think that does not count as to me this is "sports" equipment. I shortened the hem of it, so I did do a little refashion there.
The skirt is a simple wrap with velcro made by me from scratch.

Oh, and for the people who are totally out of the loop: I'm talking about an irish dancing competition :-) I tend to forget to explain that sometimes....

That's a really nice, simple outfit. Good luck at the games. I would love to go to something like that someday.

Caroline, I am guessing you live in Ireland? if so... I'll be visiting Ireland in March next year with several other craftswomen and we'd all like to visit craft shops and second hand stores. any advice on these? thanks!

Hi Edie, No unfortunately I do not live in Ireland...I wish I would! :-)
I live in Holland, so I am nearly a neighbour...
In the south or in the country you will literally trip over the craftspeople. You will need to find them, but if you ask at the local tourist board or just ask the locals they will know. If you also want beautiful scenery, go to county Kerry. I think it is gorgeous there!
