AH! That's the one! The exact one he pointed me to. I knew I had seen a pattern at some point, I just couldn't dig it out of the site. Thanks to everyone! Kathy There's a pattern and info at the Swedish Historiska världar website: http://www.historiska.se/histvarld/eng/drakter/vherre/vherrefr.h

RE: [h-cost] Movies and ancient costume
