Hi Robin,
It's closer to Sarah Thursfield recreation of a garment based on what we
know, and that appears rather extensive on what they know. Not perfect, as
some garments cannot be made from extent garments that don't exist (or are
hiding really well). But they did do their research, and not just looking
at paintings or illuminations, but effigies, letters, and wills as well.
Not perfect, but a damn site better than Winter/Savoy for beginners in
making up garments that look truer to the period.
