CONT

Le surcot ouvert: C'est un surcot au corsage fendu et largement échancré de l'emmanchure aux hanches, laissant voir la cotte ou le corset. Le devant forme une sorte de gilet, le plus souvent recouvert d'hermine (ainsi que le bord des emmanchures). Une rangée d'agrafes ou de boutons décoratifs en marque le milieu et descend sur la jupe, qui est très ample et traîne sur le sol. [...] Ce surcot se porte sans ceinture.
