The Clothier's Seminar is an annual event that revolves around the one necessity that
we all need, clothes. Come join us for a day of classes, discussion and camaraderie.
It is an excellent time to show off your finest garb and accessories. Simple clothing,
complex clothing, exotic clothing, it's all welcome! Whether you have never sewn a
piece of garb or have been doing it for years, there's something for you. It's also the
perfect place to learn what your persona would have worn, and why. Even if you
don't sew, it's a great way to find people who can make garb for you.

	SPECIAL NOTICE:	Last year our beloved Mistress Luciana della Ridolfi passed through the veil to the other side. At the time, we had promised ourselves to celebrate her life and contribution to our Society at this year's Clothiers. To that end, we will have an area set aside for people to display items made by her, as a memorial. If you have something that she made for you, please bring it. Also consider either wearing or carrying in honor the item during the Walk Through History. She gave so much of herself to us through her teaching, mentoring and friendship. Let's honor her memory by dedicating this year's event to her.

There will be an Inn on site for lunch.
