==A list of commonly referred to and controversial clothing styles in the [[SCA]]==
Some of these are misnomers, unrepresentative of the breadth of clothing of the medieval period, or are often poorly reproduced. However, they are the style names current in [[Lochac]], and a beginner costumer will often encounter them.
A good glossary of such terms (in their many uses) can be found at the following external link:
[http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/cloth/glossary.html Marc Carlson's "Some Clothing of the Middle ages; Glossary"]

*Generic early period [[t-tunic]]
*"10 gore dress" - a [[14th century]] style worn by [[Viking]]s in [[Greenland]]. It adds side [[gore]]s and more advanced sleeve caps (early set in sleeves) on a basic T-tunic to give more shaping to a gown.
*[[Viking_Garb|viking clothing]] - most often used to refer to early period Scandinavians, i.e. men in t-tunics and leg wraps, and women in the controversial to reconstruct [[apron_dress|"apron dresses"]]

**For women- a dress with a seam at the waist, pleated on skirts below and a corseted [[bodice]] above.
