This site is an online reference for re-creational medievalism, which involves making a sincere effort to reproduce the lifestyle of a race or region of the distant past. I am interested in researching and re-enacting life as a member of the Fifth Century (AD/CE) Irish Celtic nobility. If you found this page without checking my index page first, you will find more information there. Individual sections of this site may be linked to or reproduced for non-commercial purposes (including SCA events and publications), as long as proper attribution is included.

Echna's Measurement Form
Clann members who want garb can use this form to submit their measurements. All measurements should be taken
by a second person (no trying to measure yourself!) while wearing "foundation garments" (underwear) only,
and no shoes. All measurements will be kept strictly confidential.
Submit measurements by email (email each category, such as "Head", "Shoulders", ect), or, by
printing and filling out the form and (a) giving it to me at a meeting or (b) giving it to Aonghus, who can
give it to me.

Credits
This form is based on measurement information taken from the catalogue for Dungiven Medieval Designs run by
Nancy Lynch. While the measurements are standard to the tailoring/costuming industry, she did collect them
all in one place in her catalogue, and I wanted to give her credit for that. Nancy is a member of the
SCA Juried Merchants List.
