Yes. I've read just about every document on how to make these period
costumes. I searched online for images and dairies for help. I found the
diaries very helpful. I borrowed a copy of Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe
Unlocked from a library. It had lots of details but not what I wanted...
suggested patterns. Quite a heavy book!
I've seen the eyelet and ribbon attachments on several examples. I saved
where they were and images to a disk so I have a collection of parts to use
for my costume. I have patterns to use for parts and I guess it'll be a
pick-and-choose to get it all like I want.

Oops, I need to clarify. Yes the puffs are fake from my interpretation of
the painting. I was trying through a fogged brain (still a bit fogged) to
say the "epaulette"(?) or the sleeve section with the poofs coming out is
attached to the gown bodice and the embroidered sleeves which I believe
are
detachable are tied onto either the corset or the arms eye of the gown's
bodice.
Does this make any sense?

Oh, how interesting! I always figured the puffs were faked, since they
show
no signs of embroidery....

In my interpretation of the portrait, I believe that the puffed sections
are
attached to the bodice and the rose embroidered sleeves are detachable.
But
others have interpreted the what I believe is a partlet and sleeves to be
a
shirt.
