i just need a fairly simple costume that i can put together quickly

Answer 1

What scene?   What play?

Joan was a commoner, so early on she'd be dressed very simply.  Get a length of simple fabric and make a simple t-tunic dress--fold in half lengthwise and sew into a long skirt and sleeves.  Tie a simple cloth belt at the waist, add a white apron, simple shoes (ballet flats?).

Answer 2

Sew on some flames.

Answer 3

White tights, and a sleeveless tunic top that comes down mid-thigh. A plain long-sleeved Tshirt under the top.

The tunic top can be improvised from something clingy, even cutting the sleeves off. The harder way would be to sew one - but you'd be surprised at modern fabric shops, they cater more to costume makers than to women sewing their own everyday clothes. They have patterns and cloth for chain-mail knights' suits!

Answer 4

Try  looking at some historic pictures of Joan of Arc and you might get some ideas:
