Poking Around in the Closet


The number one thing people learn about when they first get involved in the SCA is how to dress. It's much easier to play at being a mediaeval person when you're dressed like a mediaeval person. Below are links to some of my own researches into medieval dress and also links to other sites which also have helpful information on dressing authentically. The Atlantian Arts & Sciences Pages has lots of links, so I'm not going to reinvent the wheel completely -- go check out the sites listed there. I've also included some of my favourite art sites, for those visual sources that everyone likes to see.
