thanks everyone for your suggestions, I'll have to play around with the
layout on paper and see if I can squeeze something useable from the yardage
I've got.

Subject: [h-cost] minimum yardage for 14/15th century kirtle
I've been given just under 4 yards of dark gold silk noil as a gift and
after a long time trying to think what I could do with it (I don't sew
modern stuff and I know silk noil is not period for pre 20th century
purposes plus the small yardage made it really hard to think of anything)
I thought that it might work as a kirtle in the style of 15th century
peasants e.g. http://humanities.uchicago.edu/images/heures/june.jpg (as
with this small yardage I'll need detachable sleeves).
