Garb

One of the few requirements of attendance at an SCA event is that you attempt to wear pre-16th century clothing.

If you're a newbie you can arrange for someone, such as the hospitaller to lend you garb for your first few events 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 skirts!
