Fibulae for my Roman outfit

If I am going to wear Roman clothing I need fibulae, so I ordered these from Celtic Webmerchant  

Roman, early Imperial times, at Double Wars

I wore my wool tunica recta for the first time at an event this week. 

It is made from wool, and I love how it looks tied at the waist, and under the bust .

I also tried making a sort of Roman hairdo for the first time. I had only vague memories of images and instructions, and winged it, but I like the result .

Two braids are pinned in front, at the hairline. The rest of the hair is wound with a wool ribbon and wrapped around the head, and the ribbon is wrapped a few more times before being tied. Then I added a wool hairnet .

Taking a walk to the lake through the beech woods .

Roman wool tunica

I technically don't need Roman garb, I don't wear it in the SCA, and I don't do Roman (or any) re-renactment. But I had this wonderful 100 % wool etamine that just cried out to be a rectangular tunica.

I wear a lot of modern versions of the tunica recta made from cotton in summer, and Injut love how the unshaped garment feels when I wear it .

This is the tunica matrona, though I have buttons instead of proper fibulae for the time being.

Next step is a stola, because I am a respectable married woman. Will also fix my hair and not wear socks 😉.
