Though I vaguely remember seeing some German prints and French manuscript illuminations with either the short over dress or the long "peplum" bodice (this is the first I remember seeing both on one figure), I wonder if the artists might have mistaken a "tuck" of fabric like it is here in the Lotto painting? http://www.abcgallery.com/L/lotto/lotto6.html for a long peplum.
-----Original Message----- I don't have the original post, but I thought the short skirt over long skirt thing seemed Spanish. So here's something I found that might be useful. It's from Weidnitz "Trachtenbuch" about 1530 or 1540. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2767477510025622007ZaBAUb MaggiRos _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
