Garb! Garb!
I am finally making myself some new garb, and I must say I'm quite proud of myself. I made fabric-covered buttons for the first time, I'm flat-felling the seams, and by golly it looks nice. It's an earlier style than I ususally wear (think Manesse Codex) with button sleeves from elbow to wrist.
I'm curious about outerwear, however. In this image from the Manesse codex, what is that lady's outer garment? It looks like some kind of tabard/surcoat-y thing: http://www.casabellini.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/manesse-codex-106.jpg Are there good instructions somewhere for this type of garment? there are other images in that source that show surcoats that look like they drape from the circular neck, without the cloak-like addition.
Pretty soon I'll be making my own shoes, you just wait.
