Answer: I Love this stuff... just about anything 16th, 17th, or 18th century is just awesome!

I don't think I would wear it, but I live in a very hot climate and it is summer, so I may just have clouded judgement at the moment. If you do, check out some of the renaissance festival pages for info on wearing that kind of stuff. I know you'll want fabric that is very breatheable (like cotton), and you'll want a hoop skirt to get some good airflow under there.

Good luck
