Note that this survey is far from detailed. Although we are blessed with a surfeit of extent clothing to
view, all the pieces are the period equivalent of haute couture, and may or may not reflect the realities
of daily clothing for the majority of people, including nobles, in period urban Ottoman society. 2D
images also lack details that aid in pattern reconstruction. Some examples include, but are not limited
to:
• What seams, if any, exist on the back and/or shoulders? (note that some Ottoman garments
have been observed to have shoulder seams on only one shoulder)
• Which body parts, if any, where the various sections of the coat were designed to fit with? For
example, does the tip of the lower-body triangle gore start on the waist, the hip, or in-between?
Also, to aid on cataloging, we will be breaking down dating into timecodes, as listed above. This is so
that we can sort out dates, and avoid the hodge-podge of dating ranges (century, half-century, year
range of ruler, exact year) that exists amongst sources. The student needing additional detail is
encouraged to follow the sources listed.
In gathering this data, I focus upon major tailoring pattern issues, as notated by seamlines and related
points. By and large, I ignore fabric choices, linings, hemming, sleeve lengths, collars, and other bits of
data that might be applicable to the point of clothing re-creation, but might also obscure the main point
of re-producing overall coat patterns. The potential re-creator should look to this survey as a
beginning, and not as a final word on the topic(s) at hand.
