I assume you're looking for sources for Renaissance costuming? Try
Anderson's "Hispanic Costume 1480-1530"--she says "camisa" or,
sometimes, "alcandora"--or "Daily Life in Portugal in the late Middle
Ages" (Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 1971). If your library doesn't own
them, you should be able to get them fairly easily on Inter Library
Loan. You'll want to read Anderson anyway because she has a lovely
compilation of pictorial evidence and several pages of text about
style and embellishment.

Subject: [h-cost] Question on Terminology
Hello Everyone,
I have been reading and researching to find what the Spanish called
"Smocks", we all know Chemise, and some even know Camisia now but
what did
the Spanish or Portuguese call this basic undergarment?
