A beginers guide to making garb
If you are new to Garb making (or Experimental Archeology or Mediaeval Recreationism - it doesn't matter what you call it!) then one of the best things you can do is to bookmark and thoroughly explore these five links:
- Cynthia Virtue's pages
- Kass's Reconstructing History pages, particularly Accurate Historical Garb for Beginners
- Maggie's Forest pages
- Drea Leed's Elizabethan pages, including her Custom Corset Pattern Generator
- Marc Carlson's pages
These are some of the best links on the web and you will learn so much here alone.
Most of the content pages on this site will link to one or more sub-pages from each of these sites.
What is this? This is The Garbindex - a guide to making garb for recreationists (ie how to sew clothes that will make you look genuinely medieval, when 'playing' with such groups as the SCA, doing LARP - or even making something really genuine for drama.)
Use these resources to find resources that will help you create clothing that looks great - and real!
