[Ansteorra] for the Viking Personas

[John Moore]

Have to agree.  Strange research.  The dress from looking at the other 
sites looks like a weird combination of Norse and Finnish.  Both were 
active in the area and it wouldn't surprise me if the dress was a 
combination of both of those and maybe some native Slavic thrown in.  
For a look at a Finnish womens dress you may look here.
