	If a masterfully crafted piece like those of our featured artisans is beyond your budget or perhaps not quite to your taste, try substituting it with amber and seaglass or even simply emulating it in your choice of fabric or design. Should you wish to make a nod towards the trend when at court, opt for a jewel-toned satin with a high sheen or perhaps even a gown evocative of stained glass with colorful silk applique pieces layered over simple chiffon or tulle. Thin black straps or trim, and blackwork embroidery can add the definition you need to complete the desired effect.

Thin black straps or trim, and blackwork embroidery can add the definition you need to complete the desired effect.

	Fragile and distinctive accessories made of glass or amber call for delicate or simply tailored garments. When it comes to gowns or skirts, aim for straight lines, long lengths and layers. This be ~~achieved~~ ~~with~~ a high waistline and short or narrow sleeves. Keep the fabrics soft and filmy and add layers should the temperatures start to cool. Throw on a similarly styled pelisse, short jacket or shawl to maintain the silhouette. An essential accessory for such an outfit is gloves, preferably elbow length, which not only keep the lines clean but also provide the perfect canvas for glass bracelets, bangles and rings or the hand-held case you dare not put down. Additional height can be achieved by including upright feathers or flowers in a hat or formal hairstyle.

	For the gentlemen, nothing is more stylish than a uniform. Crisp lines in materials that retain their structure such as fustian, tarlatan, brocade and skins like leather are perfect with knee-length, tight breeches or full-length trousers tucked into boots. Fitted waistcoats cut to align with the jacket or coat are ideal but don't be afraid to have the waistcoat slightly longer if the design is ornate. Like the ladies' gloves with their jewelry worn over the top, shirts with square cut collars allow for a cravat to be tied and pinned with something equally beautiful in glass. Primary colors are always a good choice too as they add a touch of drama and can make a bold statement if worn well. Think of the impact of a bright red jacket with plain cream trousers, white shirt and cravat with a ruby-flamed arathiel adornment.		For the gentlemen, nothing is more stylish than a uniform.

	Fortunately, Missoni was very eager to discuss glasswork and baleglass, in particular, with me because of all the attention that is often placed on the so-called “evil” aspects of sorcery. She was keen to demonstrate how sorcery can be used to create something others find beautiful.

	<pre{{log2}}><div style="text-align: center;">"Baleglass is any sort of glass that has been melted and reformed or fused using the heat of balefire. Different schools of artists have varying techniques, but a common link between the various methods is that the nature of the fire allows the glass to be manipulated and swirled more readily, creating shapes and textures that would be impossible with other forms of glass blowing. It is a practice that archeologists have dated to the Faendryl habitation of the caves of Maelshyve, perhaps brought about by the scarcity of materials in the caves."</div></pre>		<pre{{log2}}><div style="text-align: center;">"Baleglass is any sort of glass that has been melted and reformed or fused using the heat of balefire.
