The Fool were a Dutch design collective led by Marijke Koger and Simon Posthuma, best known for their work with the Beatles, which included designing the tunics the band wore for their 1967 television broadcast of All You Need Is Love, decorating John Lennon's piano and George Harrison's Mini, painting a circular mural at the Harrisons' Surrey home Kinfauns, designing the inner sleeve of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP and, most famously, painting a three-story psychedelic mural on the facade of the Beatles' short lived Apple Boutique in London's Baker Street, which was subsequently painted over by order of the local council. Pattie Boyd and her sister Jenny were fans of the collective and would model their clothing designs for the Apple Boutique. According to Boyd, this brocade ensemble was custom made for her by The Fool and she recalls wearing it during a trip to Greece with all four Beatles in July 1967 to explore the possibility of buying a set of Greek islands.

Please note: my cat has rbf, so although she may look grumpy I promise she isn't 😂.

Further context: This is my cat Willow, she's been harness trained since she was a baby. I take her to events with me if she is allowed and I will usually dress her up for them. I make her costumes myself and I am by no means a professional so please be kind 😂. I also can't really follow a pattern for most of her costumes seeing as they don't really make patterns with cats in mind. My brain just finds it easier to measure and eyeball than try and alter a pattern to better suit a cat body instead of a dog. 

Anyway this dress I'm making is for our local Renaissance faire coming up (I still have a few minor things to add to the dress but it is 98% done.) My friends and I take her with us to it every year. This year we are all going as mushrooms, and Willow is our mushroom queen whom we are escorting around the faire. I know the dress itself doesn't have mushrooms, I'm waiting on those to come in the mail. Aside from that I'm also crocheting her a flower crown with mushrooms on it (crocheting with embroidery thread/floss hurts my hands but their so cute 😂.)
