I was wondering, the trim that many clothes have, especially from the late roman/byzantine period, what would be good ways to duplicate them without weaving them on a loom?<br>
<br>
I've found dozens of sites talking about all sorts of clothing, but when it comes to the trim (the clavi and segmentae), very little is said about the reconstruction of it.<br>
<br>
Are there any good ready made trims out there that could be sewn on? Are there ways to weave it into existing tunics? And where could I find some good information on the appearances of various types of trim used, including appropriate colors?<br>
<br>
Thanks <p></p><i></i>
