Oh! OK. Here are some things I've designed and sewn.
Starting with the deceptively easy, this Roman Senator wears the traditional toga virilis and tunica with laticalvial stripe from the late Republic.
The Irish Merchant Seaman ashore in Elizabethian England wears clothes that are about 20 years out of fashion in London, but perfectly at home in Galway or Calais. Made of the rare Moroccan fabric al godon the doublet and cape are light enough for a summer day even in Casablanca.
Count Piotr Vorkosigan appears in his Vorkosigan house uniform, with tightly fitted cavalry jacket buttoned at the throat, cape back over the shoulders, and silver silk chantung sash knotted ceremonialy under his swordbelt. The cavalry saber is worn reversed, hung from the belt to allow close contact.
In this picture the red skirt is another of my creations. It's a linen silk blend, six gores gathered into an elastic waistband. The chemise and bodice are commercial products.
In this picture you see my wife Paula wearing an Irish dress over a white cotton underdress. Both garments, and the cap, are joint projects of Paula, Kat Dyer, and myself.

Here's a view showing my fencing style and another showing the natural fall of the waist length cape
