Because I need a new sewing project

[mrsbrown]

I'm off to Rowany Yule.

It must be time to try out this Roman thing, so I'm collecting links.

I'm not sure I have to go much further than this pdf. It's comprehensive, and it's got lots of period sources. I like it.
It's also got a picture of the leather bikini discussed at a certain Festival.

this site, on the other hand, has better tired person pictures

How to do underwear, by the first person I referenced. Sounds like it's worth a try.

This page is wacky! The clothing part of a book from 1895 on roman antiquity

I've found some stuff on hair styles but, as usual, I think I'm going to need help with that hair decoration dark art.

Do I need to make roman, or do I need help with hair styles?

You need another sewing project, obviously!

Well, you think you need help with hairstyles, so I wasn't commenting on that... ;-)

I like Roman garb.

Thank you for doing my research for me 8-> I was just thinking I needed a Roman outfit for this event. I wonder how much of it I can make from stash?
