Description
Create a Viking dress that is only created from rectangles and triangles as was done during that time. With two cover dress options, two necklines, three closure options and an optional front gore you have many options to choose from to create your perfect look. Decoration suggestions are included with some ideas on how to get different looks. The bonus belt instructions will round off your outfit.
