Costume Sca Larp
Books on historically accurate clothing- need help!?
Two of my friends are joining SCA and we are looking for books that give some sample ideas, lots of pictures, to help limit our time period. We want relatively historically accurate (no zippers but i’m not measuring stitchings for my buttonholes either) but I am willing to have a few modern alterations.
You create a character so I’d need a couple books that reference the location that garb would have been worn. Thats what I’m having the hardest time with. Are there books just by location?
Pictures of clothing worn between AD 900 and AD 1600–however a really good *detailed* book that only had 1200-1300 or 1400-1600 would be better.
Seamstresses that make historical costumes or other members of SCA, LARP, reenactment groups–Please give your favorite reference book.
I would check out the series by Osprey Books for the period.
