One of the few requirements of attendance at an [[SCA]] event is that you ''"attempt to wear pre-[[17th century]] clothing"''. In the [[SCA]] some use [[SCAism|the term]] '''Garb''' to differentiate all forms of [[medieval]] clothing from modern clothing.

Medieval clothing takes a variety of forms according to [[period]] and culture.
The choice of [[fabric]] is important in getting something comfortable and with the right look. Just because some fabric was available in some place at some time in period, does not mean it was universally available.

If you're a [[newbie]] you can arrange for someone, such as the [[hospitaller]] or [[gold key]] to lend you garb for your first few [[event]]s until you have your own garb. It could be something as simple a [[t-tunic]] or as elaborate as an [[Elizabethan]] [[farthingale]].

If you can't sew, you can always find plenty of people to help you. If you don't want to sew, you can always pay someone to make it for you, or offer whatever [[trade]] or skill you have in exchange for garb.

Other really simple items of garb you can make are [[pants]], [[dress]] and [[skirt]]s!
