I'm afraid I don't have any files in the Florilegium specifically on
altering garb when *losing* weight. In fact, this is the first time in
14 years I've seen this question asked on an SCA list. Perhaps, like
their cars, SCA folks have just getting bigger over time. :-)

Now this I can maybe help with. See these files in the CLOTHING section
of the Florilegium:
clothing-L-msg (33K) 9/29/98 Period clothing for large women.
