Welcome!
Lady Petronilla and Lady Catherine are slightly garb obsessed members of the SCA.
We have both decided that we want to create more accurate garb for our own satisfaction and also to wear at events. This blog charts our progress; you are more than welcome to join us!
The aim is to evolve beyond the usual 'night before an event' mad garb making to research, planning and careful construction. With of course a heaped helping of laughs along the way.

I'm testing this as well; I have decided on the transitional period from around 1490 - 1510, where the dresses were still soft and not as corseted as later tudor. :)
