A French nobleman's costume
A dark blue cotehardie
( cotton velvet, padded with synthetic blue silk, with silver
buttons and embroidery), mi-parti tunic (blue and white synthetic
silk), a hood or chaperon (dark blue cotton velvet, padded with
white synthetic silk), red separated hose and braie (both flax
linen). I inspired myself again by lovely illuminations from
medieval manucript " A romance of Alexander" (Flames, 1344). The
main seams were made by machine but it is intirely finished by
hand and all visible seams inside-out are hand stitched.
