My Tiny Celtic Garb Kit

I am a tiny Celt, and this is my tiny Celtic garb. 

It goes under my tiny Celtic armor. (This thing fits everyone else like a sports bra. So lulzy.)

(Yeah that's my Maeve Dress, but you get the point.)

This is my current kit. But since one can never have too much garb, I've got something AAHH-Mazing in the works. Like seriously, it will be the most baller garb that Belegarth and Dagorhir have ever seen...My fabric is actually on it's way, super duper excited!

The Maeve Dress

The Maeve dress is a super versatile layer for lady fighters. You can throw it on over pants and a tunic in the winter, or rock it with just a tank top and booty shorts when the weather warms up. That's right, I said booty shorts! The knee length and split sides make it easy to fight in, while the adjustable fit and breathable linen fabric make it comfortable.

Sick Sleeves for a Sith

My combat companion Cronus came up with the idea for some pretty awesome detached sleeves that tie together in the back. So, I made it happen. Then, I threw on a custom applique and some contrasting cuffs in red to give them that extra Cronus Bonus!

For those times you can't wear garb.

Occasionally, I'm forced to wear "normal" clothing. I would wear garb every day if I could. But, apparently I'm an "adult" and garb isn't always acceptable attire. So, I designed some sweet shirts that I can wear without getting weird looks the civilians/ Muggles/ bros/ basic girls/ soccer moms. They are not in mass production yet, but if you want to rock one and show your support, let me know!

My bread and butter.

When it comes to foam fighting garb, tunics are a basic necessity. The comfort and wear-ability of a tunic depends on two things, fit and fabric.

Gussets and gores have been used to make clothing fit since the middle ages, and that's the way I do it today. Not only do they give tunics an authentic period look, they also give you a comfortable, full range of motion in your arms. I add side gores to every tunic, the center one is optional, but helpful for ladies (due to shoulder to hip ratio)....fluffier guys, or those who just like the look of a fuller tunic.

For fabric, linen is the go-to. there's just nothing else like it. If you live where it gets super cold, wool can be nice as well. 

Currently all of my tunics are made to order. I hope to get some ready-to-wear stocked in my shop as soon as I finish the custom stuff I'm working on. 

I've turned this one inside out so you can see how gussets (under the arms) and gores (side and center) work. You'll also noticed I've overlocked all of the seams to prevent fraying, because linen does that, a lot.  

Gazing off into the distance, reflecting on the sheer awesomeness of his tunic.

Fancy fighters sport decorative stitching for maximum swag.
