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 love this style of Tunica in the summers out here

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

Love all of these, such beautiful work and versatility! Hope your break is restful and fruitful :)

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?!?!
