Um...mebbe a thrift store? Other than that you could try a costume shop, though most of that stuff might be rather halloween-ey. Are there any medieval reenactment groups where ya live? Maybe you could contact them..

Call it a hunch, I think that most people in need of old style clothes just make them themselves. I have a friend who makes LoTR style dresses for fun. Myself, I don't really know heads or tails about sewing :sweat:

Er... well... I once went to a Renaissance festival and my garment was definitely far from cheap. I shopped around for things to throw together and get away with the medieval look, but I failed.. badly. Instead, I ended up ordering a custom-made dress.

XD;; So, I'm not really sure. I think that if you have skills in sewing, go for it! I would've loved to walk around saying "I made my costume!" ^__^ Good luck with your search!

Walmart has cheap fabrics that are good for medieval costumes, usually!
