If you asked several members what the Society for Creative Anachronism was all about, you would probably receive a different answer from each individual. To one, the Society might mean learning a new craft such as spinning wool or making wine. To another it might mean spending a weekend in a renaissance atmosphere complete with clothing, feasting and dancing from that era.The Dune films, which include the 1984 movie and the 2000 miniseries, are a good visual guide to the kinds of outfits and costumes your character might wear. You might also check the Dune novels for detailed descriptions. As a general rule, Dune clothes are generally archaic-looking and rather formal--in historical terms, generally anywhere between the Renaissance period up to the early 20th century.
I normally wear a size 4, but your size chart says I'm a size 10. Why?
The sizes we use are standard pattern sizes, which run much smaller than regular retail sizes, due to the fashion industry's penchant for vanity sizing.Check the Size Chart for chest, waist, and other measuarements. If you do not think that a standard size will fit you, you may order a custom item. Just be sure to enter your measurements in the "Additional Instructions" text area in addition to selecting the size closest to what you would wear.
