My viking outfit re-made, and a visit to a viking market

Om Thursday's sewing meeting at my place I took in my Köstrup viking dress, and today I wore it to Ale Viking market. Except that I forgot to bring my string of beads that I hade re-threaded last night  - typical.



The market was packed with peopel- the warm and sunny weather probably helped there. There were lots of vendors, but I managed to get away without buying more than two deer's antlers for a non-historical project.



Met lots of friends. This is my friend Graciela and parts of her family (husband and one son not visible)


Here you can see the husband eating behind us two though :)


The market is very beautifully situated, and this sight of the children playing among the trees and wood anemones was just magical.


And I ran into baron Måns, also dressed in viking garb. And I got a hug from his very nice son.

Stuff I've written and published

As I say in my presentation I am an historian. My field is mainly clothing and society in the medieval and early modern period.

My PhD dissertation, which I defended in 2006, can be found in full text here (PDF). Unfortunately for at least some of my readers, the text is in Swedish, though there is an English summary.

More and more stuff added

As you can see to the left at least half of the costumes from my old web site has been moved and I have also made pages for some of my new stuff, such as my viking woman's outfit, or my mid 16th century Swedish gown.

Last night, when I couldn't sleep I also moved the web page of one my favourite gowns, which is based on a portrait by Anthonis Mor, and of its accompanying dress diary, which shows how it was made.
