WHAT to BRING Wardrobe/Attire Items WHAT TO BRING *This information is an excerpt from the student handbook, please make sure you refer to the most current version found on the Resource Board in Whipple Hill. The following pages outline items that all students should consider when it comes to preparing to attend CCS. Attire is listed first, followed by the minimum gear lists, and ends with items students need for class and when living on dorm. Day students - please make sure that you review the entire list of items found on the following pages, including the list at the end of these pages that outlines items that are not permitted on campus. Wardrobe/attire items: Christchurch School values students for their individuality, accomplishments, and contributions to the School and the wider community and, therefore, does not prescribe a uniform for class or after school activities. Students are expected to dress in a manner that demonstrates respect for themselves and for those in our community. During the class day the school’s standard is simply that clothing be neat, clean, and appropriate to the program of the day. Outside of class students may wear clothing that is comfortable and fits appropriately. Students wearing inappropriate clothing will be asked to change. In situations where a student’s dress is an ongoing concern, s/he will be referred to the Community Life Office. The following guidelines are provided to help with good judgment: • Clothing should be in good repair (no rips, frays, tears, cutoffs, patches, or clothing with inappropriate messages) • Shoes must be worn at all times for safety reasons. • Bathing suits are acceptable as outerwear only at the waterfront. • Generally, shorts and skirts should not be shorter than the tips of your fingers when arms are at sides. • Clothing should cover your stomach and cleavage. (If you can see your stomach when you raise your arms above your head, then generally the item is too short.) • What is underneath (e.g. brastaps, bralettes, underwear, etc.) should not be visible. • Pajamas or flannel drawstrings pants are acceptable only inside the dormitory. • Items that are too tight or too short should not be worn on campus; students are expected to remember the spirit of the dress code and use good judgment when making determinations about these classifications. • Clothing should not advertise, extol, or otherwise depict things that are against Christchurch School Code of Conduct (such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, hate, etc.) Guidelines for Classroom Dress ● The attire for classroom dress is business casual. For example, collared shirts, non-collared dress shirts, henleys, blouses/shirts with a finished neckline, turtlenecks, and sweaters are appropriate. ● Athletic or dry-fit t-shirts, sheer shirts without an undershirt, tank tops, tube tops, spaghetti straps, or open back/cut away clothing are not appropriate for class. ● Reminder, what is underneath should not be visible. ● Pants, skirts or shorts should meet the following guidelines: ○ Khakis, dress, and casual pants are appropriate. ○ No frays, rips, tears, etc. are appropriate. ○ When wearing a tunic, non-transparent leggings are appropriate. A tunic top is described as a loose fitting shirt that may be categorized as a short dress or a long shirt that is hip length; this shirt is not a long t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, etc. ○ Blue denim, spandex, jeggings, yoga pants, joggers, track pants, athletic attire, or bottoms made of see-through material are not allowed. ○ Skirts, dresses, and shorts should be no shorter than the tips of the fingers when arm are at sides. ● Shoes should be in good repair and may include close-toed shoes and sandals. ● Facial hair is not permitted. ● Except for inconspicuous nose piercings, please do not wear facial piercings or large gauges to class.

    Fact Sheet 4 Medieval Roslin – What did people wear? Roslin is in the lowlands of Scotland, so you would not see Highland dress here in the Middle Ages. No kilts or clan tartans. Very little fabric has survived from these times, so how do we find out what people did wear? We can get some information from bodies found preserved in peat bogs. A bit gruesome, but that has given us clothing, bags and personal items. We can also look at illustrated manuscripts and paintings.

  • Simple Viking Clothing for Men
    Simple Viking Clothing for Men Being a guide for SCA-folk who desire to clothe themselves in a simple but reasonably accurate Viking fashion, to do honor to the reign of King Thorson and Queen Svava. Prepared by Duchess Marieke van de Dal This edition: 6/24/04 For further information, please don’t hesitate to email: [email protected] Copyright 2004, Christina Krupp Men’s Tunic Very little is known about the authentic cut of the Viking-Age men’s tunic.The Viborg shirt, below, is not typical in its complexity. Most likely, tunics were more like the first type shown. Generic Viking Men’s Tunic See Cynthia Virtue’s website, http://www.virtue.to/articles/tunic_worksheet.html for full instructions. A similar tunic worksheet website is from Maggie Forest: www.forest.gen.nz/Medieval/articles/Tunics/TUNICS.HTML This tunic is very similar to Thora Sharptooth’s rendition of the Birka-style tunic, as described on her webpage, http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/viktunic.html 2.5 or 3 yds of 60” cloth works well for this layout. Most Viking tunics look best at knee-length. Underarm gussets are optional, but if they are omitted, make the upper arms roomy. Usually the bottom half is sufficiently full with this cut, but for extra fullness, add a gore of fabric in the center front and center back.You may also omit the side gores and leave the side seams unsewn from knee to mid-thigh. The Viborg Shirt The “Viborg Shirt” was found in Denmark, and is dated to the 11th C.

  • Dress Code – Standards of Modesty Linfield Christian School (LCS)
    Dress Code – Standards of Modesty Linfield Christian School (LCS) desires to create an educational atmosphere that honors God and maximizes learning. Modesty, moderation, neatness, cleanliness, and gender distinction are the overriding principles of the LCS dress code and are values expected to be embraced by all LCS students whenever they are on campus or attending a school- related activity. All wardrobe related decisions are at the discretion of school administration. Clothing should be clean, neat, and appropriately sized. Clothing that is excessively tight, baggy, dirty, or sloppy is not allowed. Modesty is very important. Clothing and/or any pictures, drawings, symbols, or values advertising/promotional material that promote drugs, alcohol, tobacco, anti-Americanism, racism, or sexual promiscuity is not allowed. Parental review and support before a student leaves for school is an important aspect of meeting dress code standards. Students are expected to arrive in uniform and remain in wardrobe attire until they depart from school for the day. Students must be in modest dress at all times while on campus or attending all school events, or participating in co-curricular activities. The intent of these guidelines is to allow some variety of tastes within the wardrobe framework of modesty, decency, and appropriateness. If attire is not appropriate, student will be required to change into suitable clothing in order for the student to continue the day of classes. Students will not be permitted to attend class until they are in approved wardrobe. Consequences for not following the dress regulations will result in discipline outlined by each division administrator. Modesty Guiding Principle – It is a violation of the dress code to show underwear, midriff, lower back, or cleavage at any time (including while leaning over or raising the arms).

READ THE LABELS: The tags sewn into most articles of clothing advise about specific treatments. 2. TEST FOR COLORFASTNESS: Labels often indicate whether a garment is colorfast. If you’re unsure, dampen fabric in a discreet spot (like an inside seam), wait a minute or two, and blot with a white cloth; if the cloth takes on color, the garment is not colorfast. Wash noncolorfast clothes alone until they stop releasing dye (include an old white sock in the wash each time; once it emerges untainted, you can add the garment to the rest of your wash). 3. SORT AND SEPARATE: Put whites and light colors in one basket, darks in another. Use additional baskets for extra- dirty garments or items that produce a lot of lint, such as terry- cloth towels and flannel shirts. Divide heavy clothes (like jeans) and lighter sheers and permanent-press items. Zip zippers, tie drawstrings, empty pockets, and unroll cuffs.

  • Create That Perfect Wardrobe 4-H Clothing and Textiles Project Selecting What’S Right for Me Project Outcome: Create a Wardrobe Plan
    6-9 YEARS IN PROJECT Create That Perfect Wardrobe 4-H Clothing and Textiles Project Selecting What’s Right for Me Project Outcome: Create a wardrobe plan. Project Mastery Indicator: Completion of Wardrobe Plan. If you are like most people, you have lots of clothes in your closet but often feel you have nothing to wear. With a little planning and know-how, you can organize your closet and know what you need to buy to create that perfect wardrobe. This will mean looking at what you have now, determining what you will need, and taking steps to get those items. Create Your Own Seasonless Wardrobe Before taking inventory of what you have, here are some guidelines to help you in mastering the art of creating that perfect wardrobe. Select Basics Your wardrobe should be built around “basics”—pieces that are easy to layer and never go out of style: Black tank top: A white tank looks right at the gym and for casual outings, but a black one can be worn with everything from khakis to a cocktail skirt. Crewneck sweater: Opt for thin knits in cotton that layer easily. Jeans: It's worth paying extra for jeans that actually fit and flatter. Your best bet? Stretch denim with no more than 2 percent Lycra (the fabric will follow your curves and keep its shape). Long-sleeve white T-shirt: Looking thin in white doesn't have to be difficult. The trick? Choose a slim-fit T-shirt that skims over your body (but doesn't cling). Khakis: Forget the pleats (a flat front is more flattering) and forgo the front crease, too.
