Women's 1590s images

[sstormwatch]

I am trying to find images of women during the 1590s that I find interesting, maybe to find one as an inspiration piece.

Somehting interesting I'm noticing, and one would think that I'd have noticed earlier, being an artist and all: All of the dresses are flat. The faces are shaded approptriately for a sitting in front of the artist. All of the dresses look like they've been laid out on a table or something in front of the artist so he can get all of the insane detail on the fabric. Those details do not follow wrinkles or folds, except along the front edges of the overskirts, where all of them seem to have the cage-thingee at the hips to create that cylinderical look to the skirting. Even then, that folding does not look realistic, as if draped over a living body, but rather they look arranged.

Remind me, and we can talk about this more tomorrow.

I like Elizabeth Brydges dress. It's beautiful. I had not noticed the extra poof on some of the skirts you had shown in previous looking.
