[Ansteorra] Research help

[Deborah Zallen]

All patterns are "all sizes" with instructions to alter for larger or
smaller sizes.  The "all sizes" varies between patterns.

For example

The Shinrone Gown Pattern says
"All Sizes in one envelope.   Fits busts 30½”-50” and waists 23”-41”."

The Women's Léine Pattern
"All Sizes in one envelope.   Fits up to 48” chest."

Lady Hanna,

Leine and brat are appropriate terms, but without comparing the
comments on that site with what others have written, it is hard to
know from this. I will let those more familiar with clothing styles
give a review of what is on that site.

Here are a few files in the CLOTHING section of the Florilegium which
might be of use to this new lady.
cl-Ireland-msg    (88K)  7/26/99    Medieval Irish clothing.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CLOTHING/cl-Ireland-msg.html
cl-Scot-fem-art   (14K)  7/ 2/96    Scottish women's clothing.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CLOTHING/cl-Scot-fem-art.html
cl-Scotland-msg  (114K) 10/31/01    Clothing of Scotland. folding of
kilts.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CLOTHING/cl-Scotland-msg.html

This one might also have some links which would be helpful:
costuming-lnks    (28K)  8/ 6/04    Links to medieval clothing by
