Gentles,

Where do I go to find information (and seamstresses) for the fifth to sixth century AD in Northern India?

It would be especially good if I could find a seamstress that has a working knowledge of this period and location.

Oh, and duuurrrrrr on me - the SCA-India group over at Yahoo is about the best central locale for this sort of thing - medium traffic, VERY little noise. Nice bunch of folks.

Would this by chance be for a film about Budda?

No, it's for a pharmacist in New York City. She wants to do a Steppe Invader in Northern India.

Thesis: Crucible Steel in Central Asia , Dr Feuerbach might be of interest. (though not for clothing...)
