Garb and Garments
Creating & Obtaining Renaissance and Medieval Clothes

An important aspect to the atmosphere and enjoyment of an SCA event or a RenFaire is the attire of the attendants. Dressing up in "garb", as we call period clothing, is a prime way of getting into the spirit of the setting and a way of changing into a character that fits the time period of the event. There are certain restrictions and rules to garb, and the links here can give you probably more information than you'd ever even want concerning the construction, wearing and caring of the clothing, If you know of more links,or have a page of your own,  please drop me a line at tamara_carroll@hotmail.com and I would love to check it out and perhaps add it here.

Remember, "she who dies with the most fabric wins"!
