In-Kingdom Resource Web Pages

Here are some links to pages by Caidans about various costuming topics. The goal is to get local like-minded people together with each other. Some of these are sites that share research in general, some are dress diaries that show the practical aspects of the making of a single garment, and some sell completed garments. Some of these chronicle discoveries in learning an area new to the writer, others are building on past successes. All have something to offer.
