Shirt of St. Louise
This tunic, or shirt, could have belonged to St. Ludwig of 13th
century, and is currently located in Notre Dame, Paris. This rather
long tunic (approximately down to the knees) is not very well
preserved: it is missing the left sleeve and the lower right quarter
covering the front of the right thigh. The present pattern is drawn
after the one designed by Dorothy K. Burningham, except we matched the
length of the inserted triangular pieces to the length of the overal
garment. Because the proper pattern measurements have never been taken
from the extant garment, the pattern on the picture represents our
best guess.
Based on: Cut My Cote; Dorothy K.Burnham;The Royal Ontario
Museum; 1973; MacKinnon-Moncur |
