Materials: The only acceptable materials are linen and wool, although a percentage of natural fibre blends such as cotton is acceptable, as it doesn’t adversely affect the appearance or draping quality of the base linen.

Construction: Whilst all non-visible seams may be machine sewn, all hems, sleeves and collars should be hand sewn to avoid highly visible machine stitching.

Fastenings: Garments not sewn together were fastened by long pins, fibulae, brooches or buttons of bone, wood.

A long cord may be passed from the belt crossed between the breasts, passed under the shoulder fastenings, crossed over the back and fastened to the belt at the back to give a more fitted appearance.
