A 'maven' in my experience in the SCA is one who presumes to pass judgement on matters of authenticity. usually in tones dripping with disdain.. <g> Not all of them are like that of course, and i have been fortunate in not running into one.... but there have been stories about some of the less pleasant variety

ps adding pieces to a garment was an economic measure in many cases I once had to use a slightly different shade of green for the sleeves of the tunic i was making when i ran out of material.. I was later told that was quite 'period' especially amongst the poorer folk..

Please....what is a 'maven'? For Regia, you don't often see manuscript pictures of women's dresses treated in this way, although men's tunics sometimes seem to have strips of different colours along the bottom.
If you don't have any of the same colour cloth left, and you can't 'pouch' less over your belt, (if you wear one), then a strip of different colour would be OK.
