[Ansteorra] new butterick pattern

[Adrienne R. Ferrell]

Greetings,

   Butterick has a new pattern #3552.
 Gown B is cut very much like the Fig 212 "Giottino, the Deposition.
Detail. First half of Fourteenth Century" on page 192 in the book "The
History of Costume" By Blanche Payne.  Replace the zipper with lacing.
Change the sleeve tight fitting with buttons up the side; you may be able
to modify the sleeve from gown A.  Gown B's sleeve is a very nice sleeve
for a 12th century gown or late 14th early 15th century; but the cut of
gown is very different during that time.

Gown A has lots of gores and would be appropriate for early/mid 14 century
with the above changes.
This gown could be also be modified to the Greenland dress.
Tape pieces 1 and 2 together and cutting them out (not on the fold) as one
piece. Then placing the gores that would have been between pieces 1 and 2
in the center where the fold of piece 2 would have been.  Make the same
modifications to the back pieces 4 and 5. Omit the zipper and add lacing.
The sleeve would have been closer fitting at the wrist. A photograph of the
Greenland dress and layout of this gown is also in "The History of Costume"
By Blanche Payne on page 193.
