I've been browsing images yet again. I'm firming up my pre-1530 information for my class. And happened across all sorts of fun.
First, for Willemyne, more kolf:

Now, for whoever it was who was interested in 16th century French stuff, I thought this was gorgeous. It's color, unlike the earlier version at the Met, which is only on the web in B&W:

And I invite all those who are exposed to garb snarks to print it out and carry it with you. Please, please the next time someone says "Pink isn't period".... stuff this up their nose.

A striped hem on the donatrix, and striped sleeves on the lady in back??
http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/images/aria/sk/z/sk-a-4706.zOK, so the hat is probably a bit fanstastical. But that looks like a darned pattern on the chemise, does it not?
