French lady's costume
The costume consists of
a blue cotehardie with golden buttons and ribbon around the
neckline, ladie´s medieval shirt, mi-parti separated hose and
short ladie´s braie. All made from flax linnen. It is originally
designed according to illuminations in the manuscript " 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. I plan to make the superior
cotehardie with integral tippets soon.
