Absolutely wonderful! I looked at every plate in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Here's some stand outs incase you don't want to look at all:

The woman's riding habit in the 17th century on pg. 5, in blue and gold, just terrific!

And for those who are getting into the Buccaneer living check out the 18th century, pages 44- top, and pg. 67 bottom.

Also I found what I was looking for, since practically all us women wear just bodices to faires (well most are Renaissance events), I checked to see if such clothing existed, yes it does. Even though some camisoles arm lengths came to just the elbow, I found many that did come down to the wrist. So us women are not out of 'period' per say.

Thank you so much GoF for putting the link up!

OH MY!

What a great rainy day project! Thanks GoF. This will be a good thing to keep me busy when I'm stuck indoors.
