[Regia-NA] Ready-made 11th c costume

[yolli]

Hmmm, £75 or so would buy you some really nice fabric. I think all members
should really get to understand what a pain it can be to sew and to get the
pattern and cut correct. To my mind it's a right of passage just like making
your first pair of shoes.

The garment is a bit short to my mind. I recommend that the tunic should
reach just below the knee before it is belted and hitched up.

Roll.
