ablackram found a lovely embroidered petticoat that was sold via Christie's auction house. Image of the front embroidery only, not the entire garment. Ca. 16th century English. I like it much. I'm trying to decide how much I can extrapolate to Dutch wear.... I've never seen an embroidered petticoat on one. But you don't often get to SEE the petticoat or even bottom of the skirt on middle or upper class women - most full length's I know are working class. *whine*
Oh, for a will or two to translate!! Or time to try to pull some from the Mormon archives. *sigh*
