Never been able to spell Medeval but anyway...... What kinds of clothes were worn in those days? I know they woe tunics but that's about it LOL. Wha did they wear!!!

This (http://store.yahoo.com/greatsword/clothing.html) might give you some inspiration on how medieval costumes look like ;)
I love medieval costumes too! When I play the game 'The Sims' I'm always looking for medieval 'skins' to download...
anyway, that's another issue... lol
A good example of medieval gowns might be the green gown that Eowyn wears. You can see the pic in the Eowyn's Outfit Poll.

Of thanks Winyaél!! By the way, regards on your fanfic the Rreal Story of How the Ringbearer Was Chosen.

oh yeah, i've been forgetting to update that for a long time lol

Anyway, I really love the medieval-style garments for the royal families. They're really great!

WInyael - you are a goddess! I've been wracking my brain for weeks trying to think of the word - bodice.

I bought a full peasant outfit and Medieval lady tunic at the Renaissance Faire several years ago. I only get to wear them when I'm teaching a clothing unit at school or for Halloween. Now I'm hopingt o wear both at the Toronoto Gathering as they're having an Elrond's Ball and Medeival Market. Maybe Rumil will make his BarBQ in August a sorted affair - and let us all dress up as orcs, bagpipers, wizards, and elves. Somehow, I'm not sure that would encourage better attendance, ha!, ha! Anyways, thanks for the sight - I'm gonna' write it all down before I forget - seen any good kid's books on Medieval Dress? I'll go check my collection of Knights & Castles books too. The students SHOULD be able to access the website from the classroom so I'l jot it down - thanks again!

Don't know if this thread is still active, but if you want any help at all, I'm a medieval re-enactor - my persona is a Celt, but if I don't have the answer to your question, then I know tons of people willing to impart advice.

Very cool, ED! And afterall some medieval costumes are closely related to LotR-costumes...I used a mix of inspiration for my gown, also medieval.

I bet you have links to some good site as well;) so if I'm correct please post them in the links-thread!:)

[Elfdaughter]

Will do! :grin: I've also puyt a couple of piccies of my creations up in the Projects thread as well....
