Serenity, the closest Ren Faire to me is the one in Atlanta...and it was fun! I miss performing in them, though. And that outfit will make quite the impression! 
EngineAngel, check this link...I posted one for sale in the Trading area:

By the way, did you get my email on the Kaylee bear?

thankee for the link. and yes i got your e-mail 
thanks again for the help. i didn't have time to check out the pics until now, and now that i look at them, i can't really make out the numbers on the ruler or measuring tape. could you give me some numbers and i can try to figure it out from those along with the pics?

EngineAngel, no problem. The bear measures roughly 6" by 6". I was hoping the pictures would give you a good template to work with. I hope the numbers help...

Ok, and i say this as a totally straight female - Serenity?
phwar!
that is one very cute blouse. and look! leg!
In anwer to your question, no i haven't got bangles. I wasn't even thinking about pirate jewellry actually.
argh!
I have some fine silver coloured bangles, that i might be able to spray gold, and you're welcome to share those, but thats it - the most piraty jewelry i can think of off the top of my head is some little knotted cord bracelets the shop in work sells, i can get you a few of them?
not sure what else - i suppose hoop earrings are a must.
and your corset laces arrived to day,
and the trims are on!
just the bones to put in, eyelets and binding on and thats yours done!
oh you are going to look so cute.

I'm assuming "phwar" is a good thing?
I think I've got earrings covered. I don't wear real earrings so I'm going to buy a pair of clip on hoop fake gold ones. I'll just go hunting for funky jewelry. That can be fun. And, if I hit pay dirt, I'm more than willing to share.
Wow, that was fast on the laces. I just ordered them a couple of days ago.
Guess what came in for me? My sari! The sari itself is fantastic, only it's not a rose pink, it's more a mauvey purple, dont know how to describe the colour. But it's very pretty. The petticoat is way too long, but I can easily fix it. Now, here's the kicker: the choli is WAY too small. Which I don't understand since I sent them my measurements. There's NO way that thing would fit me. It was left unfinished and there are seams that can be left out, but I don't know if it would be enough. I'm going to email the company tomorrow and see if there's something that can be done. If not, I wonder if I might beg your help? I figure if I cut a bit off the end of the sari, it could be enlarged. I just don't trust my skills with something so grandiose.
Anyway, I don't have to cross that bridge yet. Gonna email the company tomorrow.

Well, I emailed the company. I tried to be polite but firm. We'll see what kind of a result I get. The fault is theirs, so I do expect them to fix it, I just worry about the time frame. If it's not ready by S3, I'm gonna be not happy.
It's really pretty though. I looked online on how to wear it and I was practicing. It's hard to get all those pleats right.
I'm gonna need pins to keep the saree on my shoulder. Do you have little pins?
