Jacques, i think that was a list of urls for the history of Indian Sarees
and Persian Salwar chameez.  Interesting, but useless for the French.
Poulaines were also interesting. . . . .

did not see an attachement with this.  I am curious now about what matches
and what does not in terms of persona, period, and garb since I have been
starting to try to zero in more on my own (male) garb to the proper period
and region of Europe to match the persona I am developing.  Period or
fashion police do not worry me <as those that know me acknowledge :-) > but
I would like to know more about the way such things would filter into Europe
since that is where my persona is based. Gotta admit, though, I do not think
I want to try the long toed shoes with the toes attached to the knees.
Seems impractical and I am less than graceful as it is.  :-)

To formalize my question, though- how much dress from other parts of the
world filtered into Europe and when?  Can someone help me out on this?  I am
sure much was hinged on the Crusades and the voyages of exploration and I
have seen some of the references indicating what a Frank noble would wear
and the like but little on the migration of garb from other parts of the
world.

Lady Alienor, you have totally come thru!!!!

I wanted to pass this along for everybody who wants to wear a Sari for
Warlord.  The question of "Period?" came up....well, guess what?
How about 5,000 years of history?
This site is a great brief history, pics included.....should even make a
period policeman happy.
I guess documenting a 5-9 yard length of fabric with no cuts or stitches
is
pretty easy, huh?

Many thanks to Lady Francseca for asking the question and Lady Alienor for
providing the answer!!!
