That is quite a bit longer than I had imagined when I first read your
email. Hope you weren't offended by my first response. I'm thinking that
a gown that long would have to be held up when walking...perhaps the
fashion that's depicted in Jan van Eyck's 'Marriage of Giovanni
Arnolfini', in that painting, the dress is held up in front by her
hand. I know that it's earlier than Tudor, but I've heard that the style
held on for a good amount.
You've got me thinking now!

Hi Kelly,
No offense was taken. I was wondering about earlier garments, as I know
this time frame of the Tudors was considered a transition from medieval
garments into later Elizabethans. But I don't know much of medieval
garments, except as commented here and there on this list. If you come up
with some more thoughts, please share.
