I found the smaller brass drapery rings from Warm & Natural window batting, but
my local Joanns store that carried them discontinued those items this past
year. I am not sure where to suggest online, but maybe that brand name might
help in your search.
And you can use the smaller cable ties. Th

It should be pretty easy. Just remember that the skirt is flat in the front,
with all the fullness gathered into the center back. I notice the pattern
uses "flutes" but gathering would be easier, and just as accurate.

Anderson's "Hispanic Costume 1480-1530"--she says "camisa" or,
sometimes, "alcandora"--or "Daily Life in Portugal in the late Middle
Ages" (Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 1971). If your library doesn't own
them, you should be a
