Ex Librum Wajer-Scott

Made in 2005 for a gaming convention LARP, later used for historic events. Construction based on the limited knowledge I had from my archaeology classes of a decade ago. Fabric is completely non-period modern blends, it was what I had on hand at the time. Color was chosen for LARP, general look and shape of garments is correct. If I did it again, I would use period fabrics and fastenings that I didn't have at the time. Surprisingly comfortable to wear. Photos Pending

Imperial Roman Toga

Pattern based on tunica and toga redactions by various classical textile scholars. Fabrics used in these two are entirely modern blends; they were manufactured for a gaming convention LARP in 2004. Colors were determined for the LARP, and are not historic. Drape of toga is not so good due to use of improper fabrics. Wearers got a real lesson on the importance of gravitas to keep the garments on. *snicker* Not looking forward to doing any more of these; yardage is excessive and in period fabrics would be quite pricey.

Sarishan Priestess

Made in 2004 for a gaming convention LARP. Chasuble turned out well, though I haven't had time to embroider sigils on it yet, and it needs it. Basic robe was uninspired, and I would do it differently if I did it over. Photos Pending

Fire Mage Robe

Made many years ago, at the last minute, for a costume party. Flames were dyed. Oversized, comfy, and made a good bathrobe for many years until it was stolen at a convention... No real pattern, I did this one by instinct. One of my earliest pieces. Photos Pending
