Hi,
I found some dress diaries in German - don´t know
if the descriptions are helpful at all, but maybe
you agree with their interpretations of the layers...

http://www.die-alte-schneiderei.de/renaissance002.htm
For the skirt closure - could it be that it is
hidden somewhere between the folds in the front?
Somewhere in the Tudor Tailor is a mention of
pregnant women wearing aprons in order to hide
the gap in their dresses, could that have been done in Gemany as well?
Luther´s hat seems to be like a Tudor flat cap
with the brim slashed and fold down in the back
and sides. I think you can get a similar effect
with a hat like this one
http://www.lynnmcmasters.com/myllancover.html but
without any stiffening in the crown. It could
also be a coif with a flat cap on it, a bit like
this "Gelehrtenhaube".

And please don´t believe all German "Medieval" shops are that awful... ;-)

It looks like the frazzled frau website is images only - no articles or
dress diaries that I can find. Are there any other resources online that
would at least give me the different layers/pieces to the von Bora dress?
