Introduction to Near-Eastern Garb:
A non-western look at basic dress along the Silk Road - Lady Selime Berna
So you have the notes on how to make a T-Tunic...Corsets and Farthingales are out of the question...why not settle in for hard-wearing, elegantly simple garb? Near-Eastern garb, and cousin cultures along the Silk Road have developed some of the most functional, yet decadent, clothing that is timeless. In this class, we'll discuss basic ways to adapt western patterns, modern day tribal or ethnic clothing and jewelry and develop more historically correct Near Eastern garb. No sewing skills necessary...this class is open to all who wonder about veils, turbans, coats, and the people who still wear them today. |
