Best Viking garb

Postby Sir Anastasia » Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:22 pm

Hey all, I'm getting married and doing a viking themed wedding, but I want really nice stuff, not just your regular woolen tunic. Anyone got any friends making cool things?

Super Bonus (I'll buy you a beer at Chaos Wars) if you find something for the bride who wants to be more kick-ass than cute. I'm thinking epic Valkyrie gear. Can you help?

Ok, after some looking around at stupid anime and video game stuff, I did a bit more research. I don't think you want Valkyrie, as they are traditionally depicted as topless or nearly so.

I would suggest something like this....

Except you would want to carry a sword at your waist. Everything else is chain/platemail bikini crap and video game stuff. I would go with a traditional apron dress, with nice embellishments and carry a weapon, to show your warrior woman nature. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the work here. I think i should try to find the embellishments and add them to an Armstreet dress. This way I will still have the viking, but have something a bit nicer. Everybody wants to be a queen on their wedding day.

You've probably already seen this site, but I like The Viking Answer Lady. It's a good primer on Viking culture and is chock full of other references and more in depth articles if you want to dig deeper.

There has been a slew of Viking themed Royalty throughout the SCA for a number of years now. Take a look at some royalty photos and you'll get ideas of the pimpier ideas. The main ideas come down to quality of cloth and trim, and a good bit of bling.

There are several beginner's Viking guide floating around online too.

Only a little hypocritical to rail on 'tards that post off content and act like turds when you do it yourself all the time.

Just sayin'.
