I wonder if the head jewelry is what evolved from the French hood.
It's entirely possible it's related to the billments seen on the edge of a
french hood. I haven't noted how early it appear in Spain as the arrangement
also appears over there.
Maria of Austria has a similar arrangement but is

I haven't read said book of this discussion, but I have read The Last
Temptation of Christ (by Nicholas Katzenzakis)There seem to be some
parallel bits especially about Christ's relationship with Mary Magdalene.
When this book was published it was banned by the Church and was horrific to
many.

I did read the Da Vinci Code, not a bad airport novel but too wound up in it's

The skirt looks a bit odd to me though. Has anyone had a good look at
this yet? Is it based on something real? I see they date it as circa 1895.

I love the mid-90's, the skirt on this pattern seems slightly later,
like maybe a year or three, than the bodice in shape; but maybe it's
