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.

http://digital.slub-dresden.de/sammlungen/werkansicht/280736444/107/ Smaller V-neck possibly with pleating under bust. These are the most similar to dresses I already have.

Based on the sleeves this is a small v-neck dress
