[h-cost] Grandes assiettes - single or double layer

[Zuzana Kraemerova]

Hi there,

I am searching for evidence for the grandes assiettes sleeve construction from 
the 14th and 15th centuries, the type with two coloured garment - sleeves in 
one colour, bodice in another. Like this: 
http://www.cottesimple.com/blois_and_sleeves/grande_assiette/Sachsenspiegel_large.jpg

Do you know whether this was one garment made from two fabrics, or two separate 
garments, the upper being a vest-sort of thing? I know this is often discussed, 
but has anyone already found an answer to this question?

Thanks a lot,

Zuzana

The Saxon gown by RH is Kass' interpretation of the construction. (just a
note)
Just in case you haven't seen these.
