Garb needs

Here is the list of what I think is the minimum garb needed for a Weekend (Friday-Sunday) Amtgard trip. Notes will be added for different seasons

This is based on my use, as a non fighting female, so alter as you see fit.

First, I check the weather the week before. Then I check when I start packing, Then I check as I do the car load-up. Final check right before I leave. And adjust accordingly.

Two shirts, I like to change into a fresh shirt for Court. Extra shirt(s) are reccomended for summer/fighter, as sweat is stinky.

One Skirt. Bring a fancy one if you want to change for Court, but one will last you the weekend. I personally try to have a new skirt for each day in addition to my skirt for Court, but that's just me.
*Alternate* Wrap pants. I'm not a fan of them, as though they are supposed to wrap around and show now skin, I have seen ladies larger than me who were showing far too much leg.

A Bodice. I like bodices, wait, not I LOVE BODICES. These things are great. They provide great support, yet are fairly comfortable. A well constructed bodice can last for years, as well as be comfortable. We will go more into bodices later. And as long as you wear a shirt underneath, it stays fairly clean and not stink, so can be worn to Court.

For longer events I like to use this formula: One shirt and skirt for every two days camping with one extra of each, pretty garb for Friday night, and Court garb.

Undershorts. I am dead serious. I could survive an event without a tent, but if I realize I left my undershorts at home, I will go get a new pair at Wal-Mart. These things can be bike shorts, exercise shorts, or whatever you want, but you need them. If your thighs touch, which is over 85% of women. You know the pain of the rubbing of skin can produce. Its not wrong to have thighs that touch. Its natural, what's wrong is the pain it leaves behind. Trust me. Also, in the winter, these can morph into underpants, for that extra layer against the cold, because wind up the skirt in summer is refreshing, in winter, its horrible.

Personally, I like having a fancier dress/outfit for Court. Its optional, and depends on things like money for garb, and packing space.

Depending on the weather, bring a cloak/coat. I will almost always bring one, September-April, just to be on the safe side.

Underoos and Socks you need for the weekend. Each should be the same number as the days as you will be at the event.

Shoes. I like sneakers or good walking shoes. Lots of ankle support

Here is the optional part, the toilletries. I enjoy looking and smelling good at events. We all know how horrible it is to get a wiff of Stinky McStinkerson(s) at events.

Hairbrush/comb ... DUH
Leave in Conditioner.... its a needed thing, as the work it saves when you try to clean your hair after an event taking out the tangles.  For the fair haired ladies, feel free to use one of those leave in sun cream,as long as you don't need to wash it out after a certain lenght of time. If you can't find that, or it does need washing, lemon juice and water. Smell good and get sun kissed hair.
Tooth care. This can be mouthwash, or toothbrush and paste.
Lip Balm. You can thank me later. Also, as long as its not mint, this stuff can help cover a small scratch. Especially one made from beeswax. *Not medical advice but personal experience*
Deodorant. again, you can thank me later. Also, a travel size of a body spray goes well with this, I suggest something very light and not over powering

I enjoy bringing mascara, as I think my eyes are one of my best features. Its all about knowing what to play up.And occasionally I bing a small thing of eyeshadow(all natural tones of brown/neutral  please, unless it is for a creature garb). And a lip stain (really liking the Cover Girl lip stain)

Again, I cannot stress this enough. CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU PACK and/or LEAVE. There are few things worse than having not enough clothes when it rains or is cold, or having cool weather garb during a hot front.
