== Gore ([[heraldry]]) ==
In [[heraldry]], a '''gore''' is a [[charge]] which sometimes considered an [[ordinary]] and at other times a subordinary. It consists of two curved lines, one issuing from the [[dexter chief]], the [[base]], meeting in the centre of the shield. Traditionally the gore is considered an [[abatement]] indicating cowardice.

Please note that the gore is not regarded within the [[SCA]] as being part of [[medieval]] heraldry. It was invented by [[England|English]] [[herald]]ic theorists in the late [[16th century]], but not used until long after the SCA's [[period]] (cf. http://www.s-gabriel.org/1202).

== Gore ([[sewing]],[[ship]]s) ==
A '''gore''' is a triangular piece of [[cloth]] which is used to add weight or volume to something. It is often associated with [[clothing]] like [[dress]]es or [[skirt]]s but also [[sail]]s.

=== Making gores for the Bottom Hem of A Tunic ===
The easiest way to make gores is to take any rectangular scraps of fabric left over from the body of the [[tunic]] and cut them diagonally to make two triangles. Sew these triangles into the side seam of your [[t-tunic]] with the small end at the waist and the long end at the bottom [[hem]]. It's a bit tricky to get the top in neatly by machine - either handsew it, or just do the best job you can - the [[St Louis tunic]] is a very finely tailored [[14th century]] guys' [[shirt]] cut to a t-tunic design, and despite the rest being sewn nicely, there are apparently still wrinkles at the top of the gores.
