My interpretation of 12th century cotte, made by hand (totalling around 50 hours of handsewing).

The green is a wool/viscose blend, as is the pink trim. I fingerloop braided the purple line along the trim and couched down a single line above it with embroidery floss. The scarf is pure wool and was also hemmed by hand.

The belt and bag are from my early 14th century garb and I think I will have to make something more fitting for this era so it's more cohesive.
