Sounds like you may already have the maternity garb covered. I would  
like to see your research on 12th C. clothing. While I have some  
fairly extensive bibliographies in THE-12TH-CENYURY section of the  
Florilegium, there isn't anything there on clothing and I'd love to  
improve my own persona's clothing.
