She ordered two robes each of five ells, the one to be of green and lined with either cendal or sarcenet, and the other to be of brunet stuff. She selected the cloth for a pair of purple sandals, and for four pairs of boots, to be embroidered in circles around the ankles, and she selected also nine very becoming chaplets made of gold filigree and clusters of precious stones.

The materials used as groundwork for mediæval embroideries were rich in themselves. Samit was the favourite shimmering, and woven originally of solid flat gold wire.
