I agree that there's some ambiguity to the white trunkhose but I think the yellow lines (which don't seem to go all the way from top to bottom) may just be shading indicating fullness/gathering. Just my tuppence of course! Karen Seamstrix

I like the woodcut especially as it's a good illustration of the overall style I wanted to make. Thanks also to those who gave information on the use of the term 'mistress' it's always helpful to find out that I'm not being as period incorrect as I thought.
