Tried making a Roman hairdo for the first day on Wednesday. And my wool tunica recta had its premiere too. #romanclothing #sca

Roman wool tunica I technically don't need Roman garb, I don't wear it in the SCA, and I don't do Roman (or any) re-renactment. But I had this wonderful 100 % wool etamine that just cried out to be a rectangular tunica. I wear a lot of modern versions of the tunica recta made from cotton in summer, and Injut love how the unshaped garment feels when I wear it . This is the tunica matrona, though I have buttons instead of proper fibulae for the time being. Next step is a stola, because I am a respectable married woman. Will also fix my hair and not wear socks 😉.
