We've been invited to a fundraising medieval banquet on saturday. fancy dress is optional and i'd like to make a bit of an effort but i have 4 days and no access to costume shops... any ideas for a quick and easy costume for a man and a woman? thank you!
woman: wear a long floor length skirt, and then just tie scraps of fabric or scarves to a belt and arrange them over yoru waist, wear with a loose, flowy shirt and lots of bangles for a "gypsy" look
man: anything that is natural colors or earth tones, if you've got high boots, wear those, can tie scarves/sashes around waist and have a piratey/peasanty look

Last year I made a dress for a medieval night during summer, but I got really overheated. This year, I'm trying to figure out a way to make an acceptable costume that wouldn't be too upper-class for the period but would still be less stifling and crazy warm. Does anyone have any suggestions for alterations or anything? I used pattern 9891, variation C from Simplicity.
Well, I never used patterns per se--my graduate costuming courses taught me how to work without a pattern--
But the main thing is the material. And also the design, in that you will want to avoid too many layers.
You might want to look up medieval dress in books on history of costume or history of fashion, just to see what some of the options are. Also look at medieval art work, particularly the Tres Riche Heures of the Duc du Barry.
Once you've seen an outfit from those sources that you thing would look right on you, then you can scoot off to the fabric store to find patterns that resemble those pieces.
Now, natural materials will give you the better feel. Try light cottons for everything, especially the blouse. Linens and other natural fibers may also be used for the overgarments.
20% of your body heat escapes through the top of your head, so leave that uncovered--or use a very light fabric to cover if you must.

you can use fabric paint to paint a coat of arms on it and you are good to go.
for women it should be ankle length for men mid thigh to knee length, and then wear a belt around the outside at the waist
