Medieval Outfits

I've seen plenty of fancy medieval gowns, with flowing trains, large bustles, and wide bell-shaped skirts. What I haven't really found is more -functional- dresses, more like peasant gowns. Things like tunics and breeches, and skirts. When I play my neighborhoods, most of my Sims wouldn't be dressed in full Court regalia, so it feels a bit silly to have them wearing a fancy outfit. I'm looking for -everyday- things, that a freeman or peasant would wear.

If I could do recoloring and/or custom outfits on my own, this is what I would make:

Simple, layered style dresses in under/overdress combinations, some with multi-tiered skirts
Skirt separates, in singles and tiered
Bodice separates, with various matching undershirts
Tunics, many of which could work with male or female
Breeches and pants, primarily for men

Honestly, I could take a world of ideas by taking some of the in-game outfits from World of Warcraft and translating those into TS2. That's where I'd really like to start, in fact -- there are a ton of clothing options that I would love to recolor anyway, and if I can't do it in that game I sure could do it in TS2 if I could only figure it out. It would give me a great number of options...

... if only I knew how to fiddle with them. I have zero graphic design skills, and 3D imaging isn't my strong point either. I've tried recoloring simple objects in the past, but with no assistance from someone who knows what they're doing I'm only shooting blanks. If I seriously (or even casually) wanted to work on putting these ideas into reality myself, I think I'd be a lot happier and more likely to actually complete it if I had a tutor or a 'class' I could sign up for, so that I could get some feedback and advice and suggestions -as I worked- on things. I'd rather put up nothing than put up a crappy recolor of something.
