I don't remember a detailed treatment of the David gown... though I think it may be referenced somewhere on Drea's site (or we talked about it in her first Costume Classroom offering on women's dress, back in 2001...?). If you mean the "Bruegel sleeve," we discussed this off-and-on for several years on the RenCostumer list [from at least 2002 through the first half of 2005]. Unfortunately, that list has gone dormant and when I search for the old personal websites where people had posted their findings, I only get junk.
If there are any other former RenCostumers on this list, they might remember more about it.
