I've posted all these before, but we are now funneling down to a plan of action.

OK, so I like the gowns in this one, particularly the sleeves on the left. But not in color....

This is a biblical theme, maybe a saint, but similar slashed sleeves on the green gown - and they look like a different color than the gown:

Another of the same style gown (though with the big sleeves) and no partlet or gollar:

A woman in a similar gown (though with the big sleeves again). Is the pink an undergown/petticoat?

And this headdress:

So the plan, so far:

low, round-necked hemd
sleeveless petticoat with bodice - cartridge pleated? Roll pleated? Probably with a felted hem for stiffness
Blue wool gown with red sleeves
White voile partlet, pleated to a high neck
Black hairnet with black velveteen headress decorated with pearls and couched gold.

Thoughts?


Time to go put the Muffin to bed.
