If you don't know me (or don't follow my
Facebook page) you wouldn't know that I really enjoy making Medieval to Renaissance costumes, ranging from the very accurate to the completely fantastical.
Starting with the most period accurate, this is a cotehardie made off of a pattern of a dress found in a bog in Greenland.
Now for a mix of accurate and inaccurate, here is my period Flemish kirtle and smock. The kilt and yoked shirt, however, are built for comfort: the kilt is made of cotton rather than a woolen fabric, and the shirt is a 1970's esque pattern that is more Renaissance Faire than it is Renaissance man.
Finally, a simple pouch. This pouch is a simple wool fabric cut in a circle, turned, eyeleted, and then embroidered.
