Between looking at reference pictures and finishing the robe, it ended up only vaguely looking like Isolde's robe.
Supplies: 3 packages turquoise extra wide doube fold bias tape and 2 3/4 yards lt. weight suiting
Construction: I used rectangle and triangle construction with my Elizabethan T-tunic pattern as the body base. I used the body width to just beneath the breast, then flared it out at an angle. There's no shoulder seam. A thin rectangle strip of fabric runs down the sides from underarm to hem to keep the bias from stretching. The sleeve width was from the T-tunic pattern as well, but the gussets and length were to my personal taste.
If I had more fabric, I'd add gores on the sides for more fullness at the hem, but I like it as it is. I had very little fabric left.
