Eurocentric "Early Period" Tunic
The reference image is an aquatint(1815) of Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni (a tribe in modern Suffolk and Norfolk).
In 60 c.e. Boudicca launched a revolt against Roman rule in East Anglia.
The garment itself has side gores and gussets which creates comfortable wearability for this
early design worn by both men and women (the only difference was the length).
The facing around the neck frames the face and is a great location to add embellishments such as embroidery.
Prices vary dependent upon material desired. Starting at: $60 for knee length, short sleeve, unlined cotton
$80 for full length, unlined cotton. |

Norse Apron Dress/ Hedeby Gown
There are various conjectoral designs for the apron dress.
One of the latest design layouts of the "Viking era" (10-11th c) apron is a fitted design using a closed tube, with
side gores for flare and movement.
This is a six piece design with front and back panels and side gores to compliment the flow of the undergown.
The option is to either have fixed narrow straps or looped straps using toggles to attach for ease of wear
so that the size of brooch does not hinder the fit.

Fencing Doublet and Jerkin
In the 17th century a doublet was worn by both men and women.
This is a doublet for woman based on an Embroidered Jacket c.1615-1618 Burrell Collection, Glasgow.
The original fastened with hook and eyes along the front but since this was to be worn
for SCA fencing a substitution of fabric covered buttons was made.
This is also why there are no cuffs or collar as they would have been bulky under
gloves, hood and gorget.
This doublet/jerkin is fully lined and punch tested (by a Midrealm marshal) for fencing within the SCA.
$250 full-sleeve doublet
$220 for jerkin
$100 for shirt with gussets
