the
Medieval Stallholder Clothing help
 If
you are a stallholder at a medieval tournament or faire, perhaps you require
clothing but do not wish for expensive, high-quality reproduction clothing
and lack the skill and enthusiasm to make them yourself.
You still need clothes which will look great, cost little, are machine
washable and are functional enough to work in for the duration of the
event. This section addresses your specific needs and answers some questions
and covers some of the common mistakes and how to avoid them.
The information here is not aimed at historical researchers or costumers.
For those wishing to learn about accurate historical clothing and more
