Sew a Complete 13th Cent. Ottoman Outfit

Hat
For the hat I will be using this pattern in an attempt to recreate the second hat from the left.

Belt

Will need one as I would like to make this a court possible outfit. Will probably be using the same pattern that I used for the Entari.

Not nessecary but there is one in the picture. This will probably be an afterthought.

There is a possiblity of using this pattern if I can figure out how to make the nessacary changes. For instance using one of the alternative sleeve patterns.

Hirka/Chircka: A Hirka is a type of cardigan or under coat. This layer goes over the chemise. I have seen theories where the hirka is the undercoat and goes only to the waist and then in some theories they go to the floor.

Using a off white lightweight linen that I acquired from London. I will be attempting this using the pattern shown here http://home.earthlink.net/~lilinah/Rashid/extant_kamiz.gif

So I am starting with the Pants / Trousers – Shalwar also written salwar (s-cedilla), salvar, or shalvar. The test pair is made out of grey cotton, using the pattern provided by this site.

The idea is to reproduce this picture in red and green.

The woman on the center-right wears white gomlek and shalvar (which appear to be of very soft material), a blue patterned chirka (see the sleeves), an orange entari with short “wing” sleeves, a dark blue yelek with no sleeves, and yellow leather bootees

gömlek—under tunic – White linen
çakshir – under pants – Going to use my bloomers
chirka—short under jacket – Red cotton
....... – small cap – Small pillbox type
shalvar – trousers – White Linen
entari—basic fitted coat – Green Jacquard
yelek —short outer jacket – Red
kaftan—loose ceremonial coat – Red and Gold
....... – small sheer white “veil” on back of head
shoes —low leather boots

So I have located some sites that should help:

And for some sort of visual clue:

So I have decided I obivously don’t have enough grandiose plans so I came up with another one. Ottoman Turkish. I think I would like this one for Fall Coronation. That would be late August.
