 Welcome
to
ROSALIE'S
MEDIEVAL WOMAN
About the website
What is there to see here? All you need to know about
the medieval woman: what she wears and why, how to be beautiful according
to medieval standards, her personal hygiene and a little about a medieval
woman's life- celebrations and the customs associated with
key events in her life- births, deaths, marriages, employment and education
and how she spent her days.
If you want to know more about medieval clothing, visit the clothes
and accessories pages, of which there are many! For material,
fur or colour names visit the fabrics
page or to find out exactly what that what garment is called, try the
medieval glossary.
Making your own proper medieval clothing? Check out making
medieval clothes which looks at interpreting historical art
to get your information and how the clothing went together. Many of the
pages have sub-directories, so make sure you have a good look around!
The sitemap will
show you the entire website directory and the links
page has a good list of excellent online resources.
If you're a historical re-enactor and want to know where to get the things
you need, I recommend everyone on the suppliers
page, many of whom can be found in the marketplace at the Abbey
Medieval Tournament each July in Caboolture. For those wondering
how to be more involved in the medieval world, visit the historical
re-enactment page and find a group near you! There are many
groups Australia-wide covering different time periods and focussing on
different aspects of historical life. If you're a medieval stallholder
or someone looking for help with easy but appropriate costuming ideas,
there's loads of easy-to-understand information and patterns at Rosalie's
Medieval Stallholder Clothing Help .
If you're really keen, check out Rosalie's
Medieval Woman Live Journal, my blog where I talk about medieval
facts of life, current research, sewing projects, events I've attended
and books I'm reading and reviewing. Visit the Noticeboard
for upcoming events, appearances and website updates.
And if you're curious, ten questions about
me !
