Yeah, that's where the "Creative" part comes in to the SCA. We used to have a great group of folks here in the Capital Region that really tried to get close to the real thing, so to speak. I went to a War of the Roses a few years back. Unfortunately I think the original battle had more foot soldiers than this war did. But it was fun. The thing I liked most about it was the dance classes. There were several of us "attempting" to learn some of the old dances. I still don't know how Queen Elizabeth was so active in a corset! She ussed to do this one dance...I can't recall the name, but it was considered to be athletic, with a lot of jumping and spinning. With all those petit coats and the boned corset and the heavy velvet over skirt...I would have passed out!
