historically accurate fantasy clothing

someone who can set out the parameters of their argument first. if this woman was my daughter i would dance a jig! i would massively recommend watching her videos where she redraws the covers of historical romances with period accurate clothing. be warned tho, if you go down this path it can ruin your tv and  movie watching!

while i'm at it, i noticed in the comments someone telling a story about re-enactors who couldn't make black dye in northern europe and thus speculated that the night watch must have had access to black sheep. which, while he may have a point, neglects the fact that northern europe really did have black dye. check out some trials here - i've made ink in a not dissimilar manner. it wasn't nice. perhaps i should've looked up the first ever dyeing book - so niche it doesn't even have a wikipedia page!
