I've gotten permission to make my own cap, gown and hood for my

robe, or something similar. Does anyone know of a good source for
patterns?
Either look into the Janet Arnold 'Patterns of Fashion' covering
the Renaissance, or ask on a Harry Potter costume forum like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
I think the "schaube" (gown) may be in Patterns of Fashion. You don't
have to scale up the little pieces, though. If you start with a yoked
shirt pattern to make the yoke, the rest of the gown just falls into
place.
