Can you see the versatility of medieval clothes? I can have a few undergowns, a few overtunics or cyclas's, and I can wear them in many different combinations.

Here's how I've found medieval clothes to be superior to modern clothes:

• I'm almost always completely comfortable, temperature-wise (with modern clothes, you can't always predict that with your dress, and you end up dealing with feeling too hot or too cold a lot of the time)
• The clothes are loose and comfortable--no tight, pinching fashions that make me feel fat
• I'm always modest
• The clothing is beautiful and feminine
• This style of medieval fashion is easy to sew, and not necessarily expensive either
• Do you notice how often men show the "penny slot" when they bend over working on something? If they would all wear medieval tunics, that would go away!
• The breathable fabrics are so practical and comfortable
• In the Middle Ages clothing was expensive, so everyone had just a few gowns, and wore them repeatedly during the week. I can do the same thing, and it even becomes an identifying mark if someone spots you from a distance. If I wear my undergown by itself one day, I can wear it again the next with a cyclas over it. So I need only a few gowns, not tons and tons of clothing like most moderns have, in order to wear something new and fresh every single day.
