I'm reminded of a story someone told in a previous incarnation of
this discussion. She was very new, but had a copy of the "Known World
Handbook". One of the suggestions for first-timer clothes was making
a T-tunic out of an old bedsheet. So she did. Unfortunately, the KWH
article *didn't* specify it should be a solid color, so she showed up
to her first event in a T-tunic with Snoopy all over it.
My first outfit was some black sweatpants and a red v-necked long
sleeved woman's blouse, which I was using for choreographed duels
with a fellow student at Rice University before I'd ever heardof the SCA.
