Subject: Layering in pursuit of the Holbein Look....Costume Journal Vol 42...

Hi all, I was just reading the article in The Journal of the Costume Society,
Vol 42, 2008. I am hoping to generate some discussion but also hoping to hear
from the authors...Jane Malcolm-Davies, Caroline Johnson and Ninya Mikhaila.
My first question is from Figure 6 on page 27. I just want to confirm what I
think I see. I think the wearer is wearing in this (order) a smock, then a
kirtle (no stiffening?) then a partially boned pair of bodies which looks like
an 'un-strapped' version of the Pfalzgrafin Dorothea Sabina Von Neuberg's
corset which is cut off (just at?) the nipple.
My second question, is how does one differentiate between a petticoat and a
kirtle, (assuming both have attached bodices). Is it just that the kirtle is
'done' in a fashion fabric?
Thanks!
Sg
