The Garb Gallery


This is a collection of photos taken by me and others of the medieval "garb" I have made.

Most of my work has been for my personal use, but lately I have started branching out and making clothing for others.
This poses a bit more challenge, since most of my friends do not live close enough for me to fit the garments
on them multiple times throughout the process to ensure they fit!

Both outfits made by me. Lord Tarien Dane models an Elizabethan men's outfit on the left; I'm wearing a sideless surcoat trimmed with fur.

This garment was made for a Tacky Garb contest. Unfortunately, there was no judging, since I think I'd have won :)

This cape accompanied the Tacky Garb for the evening, and then was gifted to Kristoff Fuegger von Augsburg upon its completion. Each of the fleur-de-lys on the cape are hand-adorned with a pearl.

A black doublet with sleeves and matching hat. Gold embroidery is in progress on the hat. The necklace was made by HL Bronwen Arianwen.

In the center of the photo, I am wearing my first cotehardie, or gothic fitted gown. Lady Mathile did the original patterning.

The "Evil Queen from Snow White" gown. This is based on Simplicity pattern 9929, but I had to modify it to make it more accurate. The jewelry was custom made by my friend Bronwen after she saw the in-progress photos. The rapier belongs to Don Gauge, but he wasn't using it at the time :)

On the left, I am wearing a purple Italian Renaissance side-lacing gown. On the left, Lady Muirgheal is wearing a reversable bodice made by Felix Needleworthy.

This is a Tudor-style gown from the mid-1500s. There is a corset beneath the bodice. The whole gown only took about a week to make!

This is a professional portrait of the Tudor dress. I made the headpiece by hand the night before the event.

This is the final version of the Tudor gown. I added the fur-lined sleeves and gold chain belt, and the neckline and cuffs of the chemise have lace.

Photo taken at "Northshield's 3rd Crown Tourney"


A coat in the style of Henry Tudor. The upper sleeves are puffed and slashed to show the contrasting lining. Made as a gift for Don Senan O'Faolan.

This wool-lined cloak was made for Don Lazarus Gauge as a surpise gift.

This is my second set of rapier armor. The jacket by itself meets Midrealm requirements.

The doublet shown here was made for Simon (known as "the Lesser") because he needed garb for war.

This photo shows the hat/outfit combo in action.

Photo taken at "Northshield's Second
Crown Tourney"


This garment is two pieces: the first is a cream-colored underdress (gamurra), an Italian fitted, side-lacing gown. The red overdress, known as a giornea, is sewn up the sides and clasps in front.

Left to right: Ladies Nezhka, Teffan, and Cealfind. These bodices and skirts were made in the colors of the kingdom, and worn at Northshield's first kingdom party at war. We were triplicates :)

Photo taken shortly after "Gulf Wars 14"


This rapier hood was made for Don Rodrigo de Montoya.

The red-and-white garment, lined in green, was made for Don Lazarus Gauge, who also helped design it.

This doublet and pants combination, along with the shirt, comprise my current rapier armor.

This is an over-cotehardie with hanging sleeves and hook-and-eye closures up the front from waist to neckline. It is worn over a black linen cotehardie with buttons up the front, and an under-cote of white muslin. The necklace was a gift from Her Highness Northshield, Gwyneth Felton.
