Well, I've spoken to the man I'm sewing this cotehardie for, and he really
doesn't want a front lacing. The back lacing is, I see, not very good choice to
take either, if it's not sure whether it's period or not. Do you think I could
do with some hidden fastening on the side? If side lacing existed, this
wouldn't be "unperiod". By the way, was the side lacing on both sides?
But I'd rather make some much more invisible fastening at the side - how
could be lacing hidden in a seam? I can't imagine that. What about hooks and
eyes? I know there existed in renaissance, but no idea when it comes to middle
ages.
Thanks,
Zuzana
