Your question assumes that tippets were a separate part of the dress. That's not a foregone conclusion. Robin Netherton did some research on this that tends to show that they were really a kind of hanging sleeve. Her article on the subject, "The Tippet: Accessory After the Fact?" appears in the first volume of Medieval Clothing and Textiles. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "If only God would give me some clear sign!
