Fernando's pelotte
This infant dress of the son of Alfons X of Castille (middle of the
13th century) is presently located in the monastery of Las Huelgas.
We call it infant dress, because we think it was probably made for a
child, and the proportions support that hypothesis. Unfortunately, we
have not been able to find the proper measurements, so the scale on
the picture is only approximate. This gown differs from other spanish
pelottes in that this looks more like a cointise.
