Commercial patterns are readily available online and in sewing shops, and have the advantage of being generally quite simple to follow, well illustrated and fairly clearly explained. Some of them can be a bit 'costumey', in the sense that they'll make something that's all right to wear once or twice to a party, but might prove uncomfortable or flimsy with repeated use. I prefer my kit to be more durable and feel like something that my character could wear day-to-day (or at least regularly), so a bit of careful selection is needed when choosing a pattern like this. Many brands, such as [http://www.simplicity.com/c-164-costumes.aspx Simplicity], [http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/costumes-pages-105.php McCall's][http://butterick.mccall.com/costumes-pages-384.php Butterick] and [http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns?creator=6&most_recent=1&pattern_garment_type=6 Burda] have specific lines dedicated to costuming for cosplay and Renaissance faires which can be very handy. Be warned though -these patterns run very large, and assume that you're 5 ft 6 and (if a woman) a B cup, so you might well want to make a trial run in cheap sheeting before you cut your expensive fabric. The sizes they use are not the same as "ready to wear clothes", so always measure yourself and get the size that corresponds to your measurements. You might also want to consider changing a zip (if the pattern calls for it) for lacing - partly because it looks more "coolthentic" in many cases, but partly because zips can catch or jam in a field, rendering the whole garment unwearable - disastrous if you haven't brought a spare.
Finally - a word of caution - these companies have a pretty wide definition of what counts as medieval. Don't trust their research - decide what you want to look like and find a pattern to match.
### Specialist Historical Patterns
By contrast, specialist historical patterns by the likes of [http://store.reconstructinghistory.com/historic-patterns.html Reconstructing History] or [http://www.classhistory.co.uk/Herts%20Fabrics/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=48_49 Authentic Patterns] are usually brilliantly researched and period appropriate. They might not be as easy, though, might need you to use more specialist sewing techniques and sometimes the pattern pieces don't fit together very intuitively. They may also be shaped to fit a body moulded by foundation garments of the period (which you can usually get a pattern for, you just need to build your costume from the body out). You won't usually have to adapt them much, though, and if you're a reasonably confident sewer they can be a Brilliant Starting point. They are usually a bit more expensive than commercial ones, but are printed on thick paper rather than tissue, which makes them very re-usable. You won't generally get them in sewing shops, though, so you'll have to get them online or at re-enactment fairs.

### Pattern Books
If you're going to be doing a lot of sewing, getting a few books with scalable patterns can be a good investment. The Medieval Tailor's Assistant is a fantastic book which I heartily recomMend to anyone interested in making their own costume, and available [http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Medieval-Tailors-Assistant-1200-1500/dp/0903585324/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354316283&sr=8-1 on Amazon] amongst other places. There's nothing to stop even a beginner using the techniques described - it looks daunting at first but [[Everything is broken]] down step by step, so if you're feeling brave jump in and see how you get on.

Although not a required part of costume, a headdress, crown or hat can be the finishing touch that pushes a costume from good to fantastic. A crown, either metal or a good substitute, can look fabulously regal on a noble or [[Earl]]. A less formal look which still adds stature and majesty is the Chaperon, which was initially a hood worn sideways on the head and gradually developed into a more structured hat. Hoods are also good, particularly for yeoman characters, with particolouring, dagging and buttons helping to keep the look from sliding towards the Marches.
For historical women's headgear, looks are virtually limitless. Historical inspiration can be drawn from royalty of the 11th century (crown and veil), through the ever changing noble fashion of Templars, padded roll and veil, through to the elaborate steeple hennins of 15th century France, and the English butterfly headdresses of the same time. Even a simple padded roll, ren-fest style, can look good with a lower status costume.
Unsuitable hats - Try to avoid any historical looks from the Tudor period and later, as they can look a bit incongruous with medieval fantasy costume. And remember, headwear is for display and not for modesty, so consider rich, bright colours and sparkling whites, and leave the dull linen Coifs to The Marches.

Mikkal lifted his arms displaying empty palms. His expression was rueful, but the dark malevolent fire that danced in his eyes was undimmed. “Perhaps it is,” he said, “My followers dead. Every hideaway exposed. Every plot and scheme foiled. Perhaps this truly is the end.”

“Except…” he went on, “there is one thing that has nagged at me for some time. Why did you not kill me at the Blackened Stump when you had the chance? You caught me completely unawares. That riddle has vexed me for quite some time, but I think I now have the answer.”
I glanced at Vardas questioningly, for I had often wondered the same thing. Vardas’ jawline tensed, but he said nothing. The bowstring tensed even further at the arrow sighted on Mikkal.
The oily, self-satisfied smile that I had grown to loath crept over Mikkal’s face. “It is because you lack faith, isn’t it? You are not certain, as those zealots of Bastion are, that the path of chaos that I walk will condemn me to the Labyrinth for eternity. For if I die, and am reborn, I shall be where you cannot follow. Where you cannot thwart me.”

For the average citizen of [[The Empire]], it is sufficient to know the seven Virtues and how they apply to your life so that your passage through the Labyrinth of Ages can be swift and assured and you can be reborn stronger. Even simple lay [[Preachers]] of the Way need not concern themselves with the subtleties and complexities of the Imperial religion.
