[MR] Egyptian Personas in the SCA

[Sandra Rangel]

There was no mention of a "transparent linen shirt" on that wikipedia
site. And even if it were a "period" practice, I promise you all, I
will not be wearing (or encourage) the practice of "transparent linen
shirt" clothing as worn. Propriety I would assume would take priority
being that there are children usually in attendance at events.

That's all I want to say about that.
