Check out the Halloween costuming section in any of the patternbooks. In 
the past they've even had medieval, elizabethan, & nativity costuming. 
All of these would certainly qualify as "attempting medieval clothing", 
though they aren't the most *accurate* of costuming. And usually the 
men's costuming looks better than the womens.

I am looking for patterns (McCalls, Simplicity, etc) from which to make my
garb out of.  If any of you have found a commercial pattern that you have
used, I would be very grateful if you would send me the name of the
company and the number.  I have not chosen my time period for my persona,
so all contributions are welcome.  Thanks in advance.
