Its been many years since I participated in SCA, are wizards, and more specifically, wizard costumes --part of what is accepted garb? If so does anyone have...
Greetings Lady Diana, Wizards are not considered SCA appropriate as they constitute fantasy, rather than actual history. The society's rule is "an attempt at...
To the best of my knowledge there are no wizards in the S.C.A., as we are not a science fiction group. Though if you can find evidence of wizards being known...

If you have a small amount of stuff (credit card, carkeys, small phone), there's another option. It's documented only to very late period, though. It's a ...
I second Sayyeda's suggestion -- 'wizard robes' in my mind have the wide sleeves, and the robes themselves are very long and trail on the ground. (Sort of like...

Without having seen it, and just from some brief Googling, headgear isn't as ubiquitious as it would have been. Although in theatre it tends to be a catch 22...
Greetings, I am hoping that some of you may be able to help me with a hood pattern. I have never sewn a hood before nor have I actually studied one that has ...
The long rectangle with two slits forms the hood, as you know. The slits open out over the shoulders, so gores are inserted into those slits. Fold that piece...
I've only seen the trailers and the publicity stills on IMDb, but based on that I'd rate it about halfway between "not very accurate" "totally bogus"....
Can someone who has made garb for children give me an idea of how much fabric I'd need to make a tunic (the sort with gussets and gores) for a nine-year-old...
I would go with double her height on 45" wide fabric plus about 14 inches longer than that. If she is slim enough that you think you can get gores and sleeves...
