I love how this came out, and spent most of Coronet admiring it from afar. Of course, I didn't realize that you were the same person as this LJ, since you user pic looks so very different than you look with a veil and long braids on. It wasn't till you mentioned that we know one another on line that I made the connection.
My first attempt at 12th century garb was for a man who looked, at the time I made it, exactly like George in that manuscript, so I had to make him that outfit. In those days (early to mid 1990's) I hadn't done any research on the topic, so I just went with the one manuscript image (which he had in a book) and did my best to make what I saw. There is a photo of him on FB wearing it at a recent event (https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10570255_10204927477806217_6214394698960039378_n.jpg?oh=6af12cf62feb9f8b14c2a5fb9a117007&oe=557B4467), but one can't see so much detail. I did the skirt as a full circle, without seams (other than the slits, of course), fully lined, and made the sleeve dangly bits from the corners of the fabric outside of the circle.
