<p>Sherrysinclair: /* External Links */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Clothing''' refers to the garments worn by an individual for protection from the elements or for modesty.<br /> <br /> Medieval clothing takes a variety of forms according to [[period]] and culture.<br /> 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. At different time in history, sumptuary laws were enacted although there is some evidence that this was not universally followed.<br /> <br /> ==Clothing in the SCA==<br /> One of the few requirements of attendance at an [[SCA]] event is that you ''&quot;attempt to wear pre-[[17th century]] clothing&quot;''. In the [[SCA]] some use [[SCAism|the term]] '''Garb''' to differentiate all forms of [[medieval]] clothing from modern clothing.<br /> <br /> 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]]. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Other really simple items of garb you can make are [[pants]], [[dress]] and [[skirt]]s!<br /> <br /> ===See also:===<br /> * [[Index of clothing styles]]<br /> * [[Fashion]]<br /> * [[Shoes]]<br /> * [[underwear]]<br /> * [[hat]]s<br /> * [[Early Period Dress]] (pre 1380)<br /> * [[Gothic Dress]] (1300-1480)<br /> * [[Late Period Dress]] (1480-end of SCA period)<br /> * [[Viking Garb]]<br /> <br /> === External Links ===<br /> * Atlantian A&amp;S Links: Costume &amp; Clothing - http://moas.atlantia.sca.org/wsnlinks/index.php?action=displaycat&amp;catid=10<br /> * A history of costume http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7631/costume.html<br /> * A Medieval Wardrobe, with costumes from the [[5th century|5th]]-[[15th century]] http://www.gelfling.dds.nl/index.html<br /> * [http://www.wholesaleappareldirect.com/wholesale-handbags.html Wholesale Handbags] and Clothing<br /> <br /> [[category:clothing]]<br /> [[category:artefact (medieval)]]</div>
