I have been skipping posts on this topic (Theater vs. Historic) Does anyone have a good summary of standard widths and lengths of fabrics in the Medieval and Renaissance periods? I know that it varied by type of textile (weave, location and fiber), but all I have is scattered all over the place in my notes.

There were strict rules for manufacturers of civilian wear in how much fabric could be used for specified garments. These restrictions are directly seen in the creative cut and line of fashion developed.
