I need a little help: I'm looking for pictures and patterns for this kind of
dress: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Schaube.PNG
it is called "Schaube" in German, originally from arabian "aljubbeh" or something like that. Somewhere I found that it is also called "robe", which is probably not very helpful, because the word "robe" can mean many different things.
It is a sort of a shorter cloak, often with fur. I cannot tell more, as the robe was changing through centuries and the word for it was still the same.
How's that called in English? Do you know any details about this kind of dress or where to find them? Books, webpages? With pictures or patterns?
I don't know where you live, but in America the great-great-grandchild
of this garment is worn by judges and graduates. They're likely to have
a yoke with the back piece gathered into it. Snape, in the Harry Potter
movies, wears one.
