I just got a fantastic new book today, Vestiduras Ricas. It is
the catalog from an exhibit of the extant garments and fabrics

have seen a smaller catalog from the museum at the monastery but
when they mounted an exhibit at the Prado in Madrid, they went all
out with a coffee table size book and all color pictures.
Unfortunately, it is very expensive (~$75.00) but I think it was
well worth it. I got it from http://www.artbooks.com/wc.dll?
AB~home~&cart=0 , a shop with an incredible selection of European
art books, most expensive. It did take a long time to get here
(this was my Valentine present).

Is it of much use for secular clothing?

The collection is pretty much entirely secular -- it's primarily
burial clothing of various nobles whose tombs are at the monastery.
It's an incredible resource and hasn't been studied in anywhere near
the depth it deserves to be.
