For discussion: Your favorite periods

[holyschist]

Some questions for discussion this week (and may influence which resource posts get started first):

1. If you have a persona or other reenactment focus, what period and place is that?

2. What is/are your favorite periods/places for clothing?

3. What period/place would you like to learn more about for clothing?

4. Are there any post-1600 areas of dress you're interested in as well?

1. Circa 1400 CE, Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe.

I did not know that!

Sorry, authors, but your books aren't complete!

I hear you on the lack of preserved clothing and other evidence--that's been a big frustration for me, especially with Mongol Empire (although the number of published extant garments, especially in English, has about quadrupled in the last five years, there still aren't many of them). I kind of love the challenge and hate the frustration at the same time--but it feels so awesome to break new research ground!
