Hi
Wasn't sure where on RAT to put this...
I'm not actually making anything now although I might in the future as a hobby project.
Been reading a little about what the women might have worn, more so in Britain. They talk about under tunics and over tunics but i wondered if anyone knew of a good resource for pictures? Either re-enactors or images actually from those times.
What materials would these have been made from? I assume wool, esp for here in the UK! Is it similar to medieval re-enactment clothing where most stuff is either linen or wool? Were any colours more common/less common than others?
Thanks!

Ave,
Click the link below my signature- a veritable source of wisdom!
Vicus are 1st century AD, there are various guidlines regarding kit manufacture and articles documenting finds....You can also see some picks of our re-creations

PS I like "Women in Roman Britian" by Lindsay Allason-Jones, just had a reprint but is not the easiest book to get hold of- try your library

I'd love to see any of pictures! I plan on making at least one basic set of womens clothing next year for reenactment and I need to research, so any pics would be most helpful. 
Kat, I have that book and I think you will really enjoy it! It's written in a first-person story narrative but you are learning a lot about daily life in roman britain at the same time. I chose my name here at RAT from the main character in the book.
Very, very slowly making my way through the book. Got to the first mention of Senovara last night and thought "Ooo I know her!" :lol:
