OK, I've come to the conclusion that the yellow garment in the second picture is MOST likely a pinafore, rather than a placket. And a friend has a translated inventory that mentions a pinafore - though I haven't yet come up with the Dutch term. That's my next trick. ;-)
As for the placket, I'm still maundering. I'm kind of wondering if it's a pinned-over cover for the laces in the front of the undergown, as done on the Henrician gown in Tudor Tailor. Though the Flemish gowns in these pictures lack the fullness of skirt of either the Tudor gowns or the ladies in the Kaasmuseum. I might give it a try, though I think I'll wait until I get better pics of the Cheese Ladies.

That help at all?
