Early Fourteenth Century Quilted Cote
I found a website with just a tiny bit higher-quality copies of the same images used in the .pdf article I linked before:

And here's a picture of someone visiting the dress! OMG! It's from this blog: http://fratertempli.wordpress.com/category/1/page/16/
I love how the side-view shows the opening really well and how the folds of fullness fall at the sides. I just skimmed the blog entry, but it says the garments were on display at El Museo del Monasterio del Sancti Spiritus.
And here is a large image of a headdress for Teresa Gil, the owner of the trousseau previously discussed. This page lists the contents of the museum's collection of Teresa's clothing: "an outer garment of leather, a dress or brial [the word used in the pdf to describe the gown], a shirt [or chemise], a veil, and a headdress." this must be the headdress, separate from the rectangular veil in the pdf. The headdress reminds me of the Persian veil arrangements my darling sister makes.
The complete translation of the text on that page, by me with no doubt numerous errors:
Clothing of Teresa Gil
Period of execution: 2002-2008
The intervention of IPCE has centered on the group of garments that where buried with Lady Teresa Gil, who died at the beginning of the 14th century. The clothing that we have consists of a leather exterior garment, a dress or 'brial', a shirt [shift], a veil and a headress. Also found were garters that supported some stockings which have disappeared. Also gloves of kid-leather [or suede?] and her head was on a funeral pillow. All the collection has been restored in different phases.
The textiles contained insect remains, skins and moltings of larva corresponding to the family Dermestidae,
without active microbiological contamination being detected. As a preventative measure the material was subjected to a dynamic treatment of inert atmospheres. They then carried out tasks of identification of dyes and materials prior to the work of cleaning, stabilizing, and placing on a support. The tailoring of packaging and supports for each one of the garments has constituted a fundamental part of the intervention, since they constitute the main guarentee of their conservation.
"There was also found garters that supported stockings that have been lost, a pair of kid gloves, and a funerary pillow that was placed behind the head."
This is the website of the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de Espana, which you saw in the previous entry is conducting the restoration and conservation of the garments. Alas, I didn't see any other pictures on their site for the Teresa Gil costumes.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE ME TO SPAIN. :D
