Easy Versatile Summer Garb for Ren Faire, SCA, etc || Ancient Roman Tunica, Stola, Palla

[@lenabreijer1311]

This is what my youngest did for the long July 1st weekend war camp. At 6 months pregnant none of her costumes fit and she was having a harder time with heat. She used a sari I had thrifty and sent her as a palla for the fancy evening wear. You take the plain end and put it over you left shoulder and let it dangle to the ground, pin the shoulder in place, now you take the yardage in front under your right arm and pull it on your head and pull the rest over you left shoulder. The fancy piece hangs down your front. This is more Byzantine the roman but it looks really impressive and you have to move slowly and you can't really work or do much except eat or drink (water) which is perfect for being pregnant

The brown tunika looks absolutely amazing!!! You look like you stepped out of a portrait! I need to make a linen one for myself, it's supposed to be 37°C soon and i will die in the conrete jungle of the city. Thank you for making these videos and showing that wearing ancient styles doesn't have to be compicated.

These look great!!!! I’ve also always loved learning about ancient civilizations. Just so happens that I minored in classical studies, which for me included learning Latin and reading ancient Roman authors, and learning about Roman history. I dressed up once as a Roman statue-painted myself white and wore tunica and palla. And some sandals. But more covered….because I don’t like to be uncovered at all….If I had been a statue during the time period, I would have been very colorful. The Greeks and Romans loved colors!! I just recently cut up my costume to make something else. It wasn’t even historically adequate fabric and was way too hot to wear, so a trampoline swing it became!

I wish it were easier to find etymologies on non-English words. Your exact Indic language may vary, but the term for the falling part of a sārī is pallu or the derived term pāllava. I've always wondered if the two terms are related to the Roman palla, which does seem to come down to Latin natively through the same P.I.E. root that results in Grecian "peplos" and English "pelt." I don't even know if the Indic word is Indo-European. It could well be Dravidian. Indo-Grecian clothing (due to contact with the Macedonians) had a huge and relatively well-documented impact on Indic dress. I know much less about cultural exchange during the subsequent Roman period.

I absolutely love the tunica, looks beautiful on a good womanly figure. Especially enjoy the semi transparency of the material, looks as pritty as a portrait.

[@MaridithSmith]

I love this style of Tunica in the summers out here

[@MaryJane4and20th]

[@daisanders82]

Ancient Roman/Greek clothing is great for hot summers. I often wear my stuff when it's just too hot for anything else.

[@SingingSealRiana]

Another thing to look into would be caftans!

[@DaisyViktoria]

Glad you like them!

[@kikyomiko101]

What did the Romans specifically use to tie their stola's?

[@eleanisechevarria4611]

What type of fabric is the tunica? And how many yards was the fabric? Do you have tutorial on how to make the tunica?

[@SingingSealRiana]

Traditionally linen or light weight wool, cotton or silk would have been extream luxery

[@merritttilson5719]

link to tulia's info?

[@merritttilson5719]

[@redbeanrin9545]

How to tie a tunica?

[@yoyotlemcen1425.]

[@SingingSealRiana]

Most very old traditional clothing goes back to the se building blooks and lools extreamly similar at one point, given people qent qith what was practical

[@donovandelaney3171]

Water has memory.

[@druidriley3163]

Don't think SCA will accept fabrics that aren't authentic. Greeks and Romans had wool, linen and silk. Where did you get the head garland?!?!

[@DaisyViktoria]

Oh dear, was someone rude to you at an event regarding your fabrics? We are working very hard to stamp out that exact sort of elitism in the organization, and I do hope that you will give it another chance! Do you need help finding someone to connect with in your area? The garland is from Etsy!

[@druidriley3163]

@@DaisyViktoria No, not yet. But some groups are historical reenactors. I wasn't sure if it's the SCA or another group. They are dressing as historically correct as they can and they want anyone in their group to do the same. Thank you. LOVE the garland. You look gorgeous.

[@DaisyViktoria]

Thank you, that is so sweet of you to say! The SCA has a requirement only that you make an attempt at the correct clothing. There is so much room for play and fun, and the organization is very forgiving of any constraints such as budget, climate, accessibility, etc. As opposed to some other reenactment groups, this is not meant to directly display a particular time period (though occasionally special events might have a specific theme!) because it encompasses all eras pre-17th century as quite an amalgamation, and the "creative" is definitely encouraged! Some members prefer to go as historically accurate as possible, while others are more passionate about being fun and silly, and anything in between!

[@slowjamsformice]

The A in SCA stands for Anachronism, which implies historical innacuracies at most but creative liberty generally.
