Willa spent a few years being an historical costumer with a reenactment
society. Today, she still does most of her garb herself (as well as John-Paul's
and her sons'), but still has yet to master the art of the bodice. She
bought her first bodice from Pendragon
Costumes, but recently had another one custom made by The
Scots Dragon, and couldn't be happier with it!

Sure you can go out and BUY your garb...but there's nothing in the world
like the feeling you get when you're at faire and someone says "Where
did you GET that?", and you get to reply with "I made it!"
But if you're already strapped for time, see our Faire
Folke section for garb merchants to help you in this department!
For some tips on costuming and even a "sew with me" section to
help you with making your garb, you have to see Dawn's
Costume Guide. It's Willa's favourite garb-making site!
I have also listed a few books on costuming from Amazon.com that I thought
were amazing! If either of these don't suit your needs, you can always
click on the Amazon link and go browsing yourself! Enjoy!

Below is a listing that I (Willa) have compiled of almost all of the
renaissance/medieval patterns that can be found in just about every fabric
store there is. (Silly wench that I am, when I went to collect the information,
I completely forgot to check Butterick!..I'll do that very soon.)
There are MANY more patterns out there from MANY more sources, and there
will be more patterns and sources added as time goes by...Making your
own garb is never a destination...it's a life-long journey! If you know
of any patterns that haven't been listed, or of a wonderful source for
patterns, please e-mail
me and let me know about them! Thanks!
