The purpose of this page is to discuss the process of outfitting yourself. It is my hope to eventually host articles here regarding the costuming efforts I have made and link lists to other good articles on making the accoutrements needed to cover yourself in a period fashion. I'm just starting this page, so check back often.

The Elizabethian Costume Page :One of the best sites for late period English fashion, addressing the total look--underpinings, cosmetics, hats, et cetera.

History of Costume: Braun & Schneider's 19th century work on historic clothing. The work obviously suffers from 19th century aesthetics, but actually isn't a bad source--as 19th century engravings go.

A Truncated Hennin: Article desribing the process of making a Flemish hat of the late 15th century.

A T-Tunic after Period Fashion: Instructions and pattern for a more authenically designed early to middle period tunic.

The Irish Leine: Late period undergarment; the article focuses on the late 16th century.

Footwear of the Middle Ages: History and patterns for foot wear from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. Without doubt, the best shoe site I've seen to date.

Gothic Jewelry: A discussion of jewels worn in the High and late Middle Ages.

Comming Soon: Articles about creating costumes for the personae.
