More SCA Fashion

[mousegrrl]

OMG I finally cracked this book I got the other day -- "Bog Fashion: Recreating Bronze and Iron Age Clothes" by Nicole DeRushie, who Kickstarted the book -- and it's FANTASTIC. It's like PATTERNS and CONSTRUCTION TIPS and the archaeological evidence to back the garments up. It's a beautiful book, and hella useful -- and has shown me that over half of my SCA kit was done RIGHT!!! My persona is 5th century Pictish/Catt from the Shetlands, so I'm working on the premise that they would have still been wearing primarily that late Iron Age look, since it's functional and easy to make from things one could acquire on the islands or in trips to the Orkneys or even Dal Riada. I am full of squee!!!!
