While I don't have a suggestion for a name book, I should point out that the name
will vary greatly depending on wether she intends to be from southern Spain
(primarily Muslim) or Northern Spain (Primarily Christian). But this will
also vary by the ecact time period your friends persona chooses because between
the 9th and 15th centuries Muslim influence in Spain varies.
As for costuming I would reccomend this book:

While on the late end, (you asked for post 1300) It is very thourough.
It gives various close ups of the garments from period artwork as well as
descriptions of the garments as well. Althogh it primarily deals with Christian
fashin it does have some Muslim fashions as well.

Patterns will be hard to find for your period; you'll have to work them out
for yourself. Two books which should be useful for your period are:
Anderson, Ruth M. Hispanic Costume, 1480-1530. Hispanic Society of America.
1979.
Bernis Madrazo, Carmen Trajes Y Modes en las Espana de los Reyes Catolicos.
Serie Artes y Artista. Institute Diego Valzquez del Consejo Superior de
Investiations Cientificas. Madrid: 1978. (2 volumes. 1) La Mujeres; 2) Los
Hombres.)
(I don't guarantee that all information is correctly transcribed for that
last one, except for author and title. High School Spainsh was a LONG time
ago.)
These books are probably out of print, but are probably available through ILL.

I assume you found Hispanic Costume 1480-1530 by Ruth Matilda Anderson,
copyright 1979. Another book to try for is: Historic Costume - A
Chronicle of Fashion in Western Europe, by Francis Kelly and Rudolph
Schwabe. copyright 1929-1968, reprinted 1988. It begins with 1490 AD and
includes some Spanish costume.

My SCA persona is Spanish, and I have an interest in the period to which
you refer. I found a wonderful book by Ruth Matilda Anderson entitled
HISPANIC COSTUME 1480-1530 with 569 illustrations in black and white and 8
in foll color.
I dont remember where I got the book, but I believe I ordered it from some
mail order catalogue of historical books. It is published by Halliday
Lithograph, copyright 1979 by the Hispanic Society of America, New York.
It has the first half of the book divided into a section "Men and their
Dress Occasions" and the entire book is made up of small sections of
paintings and statues with notes about each type of clothing for men and
women both. It has excellent documentation of the year and person who
wore that particular article of clothing. Within each section there are
sections entitled "Hair Styles" and another one "Headgear" down to
"Footwear."
I hope you could locate this book and it would be helpful to you. I have
learned a lot from the notes in the book.

The Dutch were controlled by the Spanish in the latter part of the 17th
century. Philip II, husband to Mary Tudor, was King (emperor) over them.
So it would be logical and appropriate for you to find heavy Spanish
influence on the Dutch. (and vice versa)
It's fun to note that the Dutch were thorns in Spain's side during this time.
As another side note there is a period (1650+ Spanish Tailor's book that
has been reproduced with patterns and such. It's pretty cool.

It took a second but I found the info in the UT Online Catalog.
The name of the book is The "Tailor's Pattern Book: 1589 facsimile" by Juan
de Alcega, Published by Carlton, Bedford, 1979. It is translated into
English. ISBN # is 905585065
It's a very neat book so if you can find it you should have fun!
ALso Janet Arnold's books on English costuming have some good tips on
construction of doublets and such.

Another author on Spanish garb as well as lace making is Florence

books are scarce as hen's teeth to get hold of tho.

Juan de Alcega, a master tailor, was granted licence to print a book of his
patterns, and did so in 1589. The book is currently making the rounds. You
can view parts of it at <vertetsable.com>, and it's not a very expensive
purchase.
