What no Egyptian Gauze? No sultry servants with parasols and fans?
No fresh grapes and wine, fed as you recline?

Ask Master Yehudah and the Hordebrothers out there.

When the SCA Powers that be declared no bikinis at Pennsic,
we put up a page documenting them to SCA period.
The London well Leather Bikini bottom for example.

Personally, in my observation chain mail bikinis are ridiculous
though. Although there is a pair of chain mail shorts in the
Von Kienbusch Armour Collection at the Philadelphia Museum of
Art. Shaped like boxers.
