Introduction
Together with Tobias DeSarto, Fiordelise is a founding member of House Stella Maris. She is a deputy to the Barony of Caerthe's Arts & Sciences Office and is primarily a tailor and garb construction Laurel. They specialize in constructing patterns custom fit to the individual and enjoy teaching others the ins and outs of garb construction. Fiordelise has been playing in the SCA for 20+ years, primarily to the West, in Artemisia, but relocated to the Outlands in the summer of 2023. They formerly went by the name Maysun al-Isfahaniyya.
Persona
Fiordelise was an accomplished tailor in 1500s Venice, but upon meeting the merchant Tobias, she gave up her stationary business to travel across Europe and the Middle East in search of upcoming fashion trends and adventure alongside him. She continues to create and consult with nobility to create exquisite and unique court designs that blend styles from different regions for her clients. Their specialties are garb construction, sewing (by hand and by machine), embroidery, and teaching. However, they are also an accomplished cook, scribal artist, and historian and have dabbled in many, many different skills and roles through her extensive SCA career.
