I am about to faint. I check every so often to see if there are documents I did not see in previous searches, or if new documents are available- there is so much available to us that is buried behind “popular” sites in searches.

So you can see why I am sure this is where Kohler got his pattern bases from.

Not sure why he put the bodice in one piece but then the book has just finished downloading for me and I am too excited to not share before fully digesting

Marion and I are quite a bit of the way through of translating and publishing a volume 2 of our book :)

Also, Kohler missed the fact that there is a back piece to the square necked bodice. It's the little rectangle on the bottom of the pattern that says "Das is das hinder theil. That particular dress is specified as belonging to a peasant woman. The skirt length I think is somewhat short. The sleeve is 1 ell long and the skirt is 1 1/4 ells long. It's probably closer to ankle length.

You have the link for the Alcega?
