[Namron] Couple costuming questions

[Claryce Orfevre]

Or, another idea that I've used, buy the cheapest fabric at Wal-Mart clearance you can find, cut it all you want, sew it with a basting stitch until it fits, take it apart, then use it as a pattern.  That way you're not cutting into expensive fabric without knowing how it's going fit.

I went to the real "Denver fabrics" store in Denver once, I think I needed something to catch the drool.  2 racks devoted just to silk *alone*.  Yummy.  Not too expensive either.

  If you are worried about hacking on something expensive, try shopping at the $2/yard table anywhere and going for cotton.  East side Wal-Mart has some great stuff on their sale table that will give you a period look.  Go for fabric that is 100% cotton, not printed (not white on one side) and in a color that doesn't make you think "That ain't natural!".  Hack away!

  For the fun stuff, I like Denverfabrics.com.  SCA porn!
