Basic D.I.Y. Clothing Patterns for Medieval Women
These pages are aimed
at basic patterning and some of these patterns are not
aimed at historical costumers or re-enactors. A couple of the
patterns are quite good for re-enactor ladies. They will give
quite usable and relatively accurate clothes for stallholders
or members of the public attending an event who want to have decent,
basic clothes which look right, avoid the pitfalls of fussy, unnecessarily
complicated commercial patterns.
They can be made in solid linen/cotton blends for stallholders
or made for nobles in brocaded fabrics or dupion silk. Even a
very basic pattern looks completely different when an upmarket
fabric is used, which is especially true of the Easy and Early
Tunic patterns.

IMPORTANT THINGS
TO NOTE!
These pattern cutting guides are not actual measurements.
ALL of these patterns will require a certain amount of taking
in and pinning once they have been cut.
This will give you a custom fit to make it fit your body shape.
Medieval people did it that way.
I use these pattern guides myself for things that I wear and they
only fit so nicely because I pin them in to fit after the basic
fabric has been cut. Otherwise, yes. They hang like a sack.
