Question about houppelandes ...
I've seen bands of fur at the bottom (i.e., hem) of the women's "cotehardie," at the bottom of sideless surcoats, and at the bottom of men's *short* houppelandes -- but what about a woman's long houppelande? I inherited one from the estate of a dear friend -- she always wore hers unbelted -- but if I belt it, it's going to be too short. I thought of a band of fur/velvet at the hem -- just curious as to if it was ever done.
