Excuse me....but I must interject here.  A bliaut, tunic and cotehardie are 
all in different time frames.  What period time/place is your persona and I 
can help you?
And....a cotehardie and bliaut are two totally different styles, not 
interchangeable and is not even close to a Norman style garb.
Ladies, if you have questions, please e-mail me privately.
