I agree with the Normanish, c. 1100, with either small side gores or the
garment has been pulled into a fold at the side because it isn't hanging
straight in the front.

while I wait for ideas to trim! Any ideas out there? I need to do
something to jazz it up for a dance display coming up. At the moment I
feel like a curtain!

Oh thank you! That is very helpful - both the link to Marc's pages and the
ifurther information on construction. I am not sure I understand this sentence:

I find that putting simple gores in the sides of tunics tends to create the
look without any effort on my part. The type of fabrics used in this style
tends to have alot of body and the front and back pieces maintain their shape
(relativley speaking) whihc forces the gores to sort of fold up and
I think it has just fallen into a pleat because of the way he has hiked
the tunic up into his belt, and the fact that the trim looks to be
stiffer than the main fabric, so it folds rather than gathering or
rippling. It might also have a fold in the trim from how he has kept it
in the cupboard!
Hmm, I can see what you are saying. You'd have to "train the gore" to lie like
that right? I mean when I put a gore in it usually doesn't fold up on itself
like that. This looks like it comes to a point on the outside and the
underlying fabric is tucked back underneath it like a pleat almos
That wouldnt be a 'kick pleat'. The tunic probably has a gore(s) set into the
side seam. When it's hanging down, it can give the appearanced of a pleat.

One is wearing a corset / waist cincher in a fairly odd fabric that I found
and quite liked (sort of green camo pattern with flocked leaves).
One is wearing the corset that should ahve gone under my wedding dress, (but
I threw a tantrum over the design and started the bodice from scratch...)
LOL! My fair lady is wearing a white cap, a white princess petticoat and a red
corset. She's not ready for the Oscars.
It's Oscar weekend, theater season, it's almost spring. There must be
something!

The almost finished kirtle for the new kirtle and ropa I'm hoping to have
finished sometime before the end of Southern Faire. I keep trying to get
pictures, but everythinhg darkens and flattens out in the available light,
so photos will wait till I can get it outside.

The front-and-back split tunic is classically Norman, because fighting
on horseback was such a distinguishing feature of the ruling class, so
it's distinct from the preceding Saxon style. The deep edging round
hem, cuffs and neckline is seen as a plain facing in Norman dress, lots
of fancy emb
Yes, I understand that - I posted the original image link. I was looking for
someone who could tell me what the "attempted" period, country was so that I
could research it further.
