Thank you. I have written an intro to a fantasy story describing the area using clothing. May I send you the clothing bits for your feedback?

Do you happen to know of any good sources to learn about the styles of clothing worn by Hungarian/Magyar and Polish nobility during the late middle-ages? I've been tryin to some research, but a lot of what I'm finding is about garments introduced much later by the ottomans.

A quick look would suggest that the polish and Hungarian royalty are following general European trends with more fur to accommodate the climate. In the 15th century, the trend setters were Burgundy and France.
When searching, it helps to give a specific date along with location, not that a fantasy novel should have to be exact, but it tends to weed out the stuff that is really out there. For late middle ages I have put in 1450.
