Thanks Robin, I have that article on my list!

(rustle, rustle) Here it is: Jennifer Harris, "Estroit vestu et menu cosu": Evidence for the construction of twelfth-century dress," in _Medieval Art: R4ecent Perspectives: A memorial tribute to C. R. Dodwell_, ed. Gale R. Owen-Crocker and Timothy Graham (Manchester University Press, 1998). ILL *that* book. You'll get a good idea of Harris's outlook from that, and then you can decide whether to plunk down the bucks to get the thesis. (My general feeling is that while I disagree with a few of her interpretations, it is a well-researched article that brings together a lot of hard-to-find evidence in a refreshingly coherent fashion.) Based on the title of the thesis, I wonder if the article I mention above wouldn't be much more in line with your interests anyway! --Robin
