Period Pattern No 16 Tunics have
been worn throughout Europe since earliest recorded history. Depending on the
location and which century, the garment had many different names and variations but to keep this
as brief as possible I will refer to them all as ‘Tunics’. The practicality
of this garment, combined with ease of construction and utilisation of precious
fabric or furs, made it extremely popular by the 1st Century A.D. The basic
rectangular shapes were used to create a garment that would range from hip to
ankle length for men and ankle to floor length for women. |
