[Ravensfort] viking garb

[Olivia G. Rodrigues]

Hear, hear Xanthe!

While I love history, and attempting to be as historically correct as possible is a good thing for some, I can only do what my budget allows.  Besides, perhaps a viking woman of olde only wore the silk and wool at funerals and weddings?  Who wants to slaughter roe deer in silk? Not that I am, in the LEAST, any degree of authority on the Viking age so, my most Excellent Lorraine, don't jump! LOL This is just in agreement for both sides of the re-enactment fence.  Those of us that like to play in history vs. those that insist on living it.  All I know is that I'm a member of the Society for CREATIVE Anachronism...not the Society for Compulsive Analism.  
We play, we (hopefully) learn and we go on. 

In service and support,

Olivia

Absolutely great article. The information is very good. But... whichever reenactment group that is  from,  and it better not be SCA, that group can kiss my pasty white butt. "Linen/ramie and linen/cotton are acceptable only as first year attempts" ?!!!  If somebody wants to be that anal about what fabric they want me to make my garb aout of than they better be willing to pay for the costs of my garb. I'm all for being as hositorically accurate as you can be and doing the research is IMHO  a vital part of the SCA. But "approving" garb is going too far. Jacinth, please tell me that wasn't from an SCa group! Please!

P.s. Goimg to bring any pictures of your loom to the event?
