I&#8217;ve never settled into a persona-persona, because I haven&#8217;t wanted to nail myself to any one time period or place. If I did that, I couldn&#8217;t play with all the fun toys, right? In an attempt to broaden my horizons, learn more about the various cultures, time periods, and regions represented in our game, I&#8217;ve decided to challenge myself to what I can only call an Epic Timey-Wimey Garb Project. The main goal of the project is to create one complete outfit for each of the eleven centuries that the SCA period spans. For this, I&#8217;m using the &#8220;6th through the 16th&#8221; rule. \u00a0Like any project, there are additional goals as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create one outfit for each century between and including the 6th and 16th;<\/li>\n<li>Create a corresponding outfit for a linen doll;<\/li>\n<li>Read at least one book on the history\/culture of the region\/period\/group associated with each ensemble;<\/li>\n<li>Write a small article overview of both the history\/culture and the process used to construct the garment; and<\/li>\n<li>Attempt to be as &#8220;skin-out&#8221; and complete as possible, keeping in mind modern comforts &#8211; this includes underclothes (as opposed to underwear), outerwear, and accessories exclusive to each ensemble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a class=\"mwm-aal-item\" name=\"why-the-doll\"><\/a><h2><span id=\"Why_the_Doll\">Why the Doll?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First of all, why not? Dolls are fun! Second of all, I really enjoy making tiny garb for linen dolls. It&#8217;s a great way to map out a piece of garb, since you&#8217;re fitting it to a vague human shape as opposed to an actual one. This is especially useful when making garb with multiple layers and components, as it helps you see just how it all stacks together. \u00a0For example &#8211; this late period gown (which I think is Venetian &#8211; it was modeled after an outfit worn by the doll&#8217;s recipient):<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biblionalia.info\/leah\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/LuscheLateDoll.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biblionalia.info\/leah\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/LuscheLateDoll.jpg?resize=291%2C388\" alt=\"Late period doll\" width=\"291\" height=\"388\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Late period (Venetian?) doll for Duchess Lusche.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If I had draft a pattern of this gown for myself, having done it on a smaller scale would definitely help me, being spatially challenged, to see how the pieces fit together.<\/p>\n<a class=\"mwm-aal-item\" name=\"-so-what8217s-the-plan\"><\/a><h2><span id=\"So_What8217s_the_Plan\">\u00a0So What&#8217;s the Plan?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of what I plan to do &#8211; and a slideshow with examples either from period or reconstructions. \u00a0As these projects are worked on, I&#8217;ll add pages and links.
