Dress from Saechsisches Stammbuch

My next clothing project for myself will be a dress from the Saechsisches Stammbuch (1500-1540).  Here are the images I am looking at:

V-neck dress with front lacing.  It is unclear in this image how far down the lacing goes, but based on other images it is probably below the waist.

V-neck dress.

Smaller V-neck possibly with pleating under bust.  These are the most similar to dresses I already have.

Here's some views of the back of the dress:
Based on the sleeves this is a small v-neck dress

I have wool in a variety of colors.  I do think a gold band on the bottom would be nice, but otherwise I haven't chosen the dress color.
