Jovian, give Jeanmaire a call, she has all the dirt on houppelandes.  
To check if your Period Patterns is close, look at the sleeves.  Is 
the seam for a sleeve running down the back of the arm as opposed to 
under the arm?  I could help you with houppelandes, but I find it 
easier to draw a picture as I am explaining rather than just using 
words.

Anyway, Jeanmaire has all the documentation for houppelandes, which 
sounds like what you want anyways.

By the way, if I didn't thank you properly over the weekend.  Thanks 
for helping with my Laureling ceremony.  People said it sounded 
wonderful.  I wouldn't know, I do not believe I heard a thing said 
past them calling me into court.

Thanks again for the wonderful job!
