Look that person in the eye and say "Feh."  Last month, my teacher held
a class on a new way to fit the cotehardie--there were about 20 people
crowded into and bulging out of her little living room to hear it.  And
many of those were remarking how they had to share it with several people
_they_ knew, etc.

My teacher, although a Tudor type, loves to work with the cotehardie because 
she says it's a style that makes any woman's shape look terrific.

14th c. Prague, that's me.  We defenestrate people who make fun of our
cotehardies.
