I'm pretty sure those are from Victorian costumes books, so anythign prior to the mid 19thC I really would take with a grain of salt. I did notice quite a few of the German images were from trachtenbuch that can be found online (Wiegel, Jost Amman...) They were not too bad actually, being based on woodcuts. The colours were pretty fantastical though;) > There is one lady holding a handbag! ([Woman in long dress holding a > handbag].

IMAGE ID: 811214 ) It looks a bit like some SPanish or Spanish inspired portraits actually. I suspect a half or bustlength portrait from which they have extrapolated the skirt. michaela de bruce http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
