In addition to the List of Links for Atlantia's 12th Night (http://awanderingelf.weebly.com/1/post/2013/08/list-of-links-ottoman-version.html) I have compiled a Pinterest page with examples from art, extant pieces and some wonderful work by individuals in the SCA.

http://pinterest.com/alfrunketta/ottoman-and-middle-eastern-costume/

More will hopefully be added after I get additional permissions from people to post their pictures to the page!

The Kingdom of Atlantia is having their 12th Night in an awesomely local location (DC) and even more awesomely, it will have an Ottoman theme.  I will post more details as they are offered, but I am very excited about this event!

http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/event_info.php?event_id=2f5db391

To aid those who want to pursue and authentic look for the event, I have compiled a list of links that can help them.  Additionally, I have a WIP Pinterest page that will have images of art, extant items and members of the SCA displaying their wonderfully period attire. http://pinterest.com/alfrunketta/ottoman-and-middle-eastern-costume/
