Costuming Link Dump

[shanmonster]

Here are a few costuming links that I found useful. You might find them handy, too.

Basic Clothing Guide: Headgear: Helpful illustrations.

Kit: Hats, hoods, caps & wimples: Descriptions, photos, and links.

Basic Clothing Guide: Female Clothing: Description of standard Viking/Dark Ages garb.

Female Headgear: Caps: I used this to make my caps, but increased the dimensions an extra 10 cm because I have a huge noggin.

Short Glossary of Medieval Clothing Terms: Doesn't supply links or pictures, but just definitions.

Fiber and Needle Guild: Tailoring: Links to all sorts of costuming sites.

Garb Patterns: More links. Many are dead, but a few are extant.

Greek Dress: Peplos and chiton.

Naalbinding tutorial: Video is not in English, but I could still follow along.

Historiska världars dräkter: Guess what? Not in English! But has full outfits (head to toe) of a variety of historical garbs. Includes 2 male Viking outfits, and one female. Patterns are included.

Othalacraft: A shop that sells all sorts of lovely Viking clothing. No patterns, but lots of inspiration.

Raymond's Quiet Press Historical Recreations from Jewellery to Helms: What it says! Lots of reproduction metal work. Covers Romans, Vikings, Celts, Romano-British, Normans, and more.

.......

Botswana’s metal fans are perfecting the Thunderdome chic: And now for something completely different.

Making a Miniature Book: Ok, not costuming, but it is prop creation, which is related, in my opinion.

mistress of costuming - do you happen to have any links in your pocket that offer roman-grecco styles jewelry ... maybe something an initial skimming thru google might not give me?

Not really, aside from the one reproduction piece I did a few years ago:

Original:



My copy:



I haven't been looking at jewellery links in quite some time, but if I notice any on my online travels, I'll let you know.

I found something with links to other places: http://www.allaboutgemstones.com/jewelry_history_ancient_greek.html.

I'm a Classicist with a fondness for the Bronze Age of Greek history (Minoans and Mycenaeans). :)

Oh, this also seems like a pretty decent link, too: http://www.greek-thesaurus.gr/minoan-jewelry-photo-gallery.html. A lot of these pieces are far more stunning in person than as pictures on the internet, but trips to Greece are not cheap.
