Re this bodice that may (or not be 17th C...)
I just entered the" picselect" site that someone reports as a visual source for look-see and also did not see a reference for the picture we are interested in. Since this seems to be a film outlet, my suspicion is that this bodice is someone's fantasy. I too have never seen" bugles' and 'feathers' as a design feature for this period.
