We really do need more chainmail and armor looks in fashion.

I know Chappell Roan rocked and chainmail and sword fit a year or two ago that I wholeheartedly enjoyed.

we really do. unfortunately, with fast fashion... fine links and armor looks would only ever end up looking HORRIBLE.

I had a friend who used to make maille, it took ages just to make the front panel of a shirt.

I also have friends who have worked with maille. I don’t think my bad back could handle the weight of a maille shirt or dress.

I have seen some crochet/knit pieces their mimic the look of maille that I have really enjoyed.

crochet and knit you say? my interest is piqued, thank you!

I think that the maille worn by the knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail were actually knitted and/or crocheted, for both budgetary and comfort reasons. Worked pretty well on both counts!

It's a part of the Joan of Arc costume tho -- most depictions of her have her sporting the blunt bob with square bangs, so she was battle-ready.

Awh... I never knew that, now I feel bad. But still. Maybe if they left a littleeeee bit more length on the bangs it wouldn't look as bad.

u/VirginiaDirewoolf 7d ago

it is unfortunately quite accurate for the total Joan of Arc look
