How odd that men's doublets are boned, yet the women's arent. Ref:
Naomi Tarrant's Devel of Costume, p.109-110 photos "showing the thick
cardboard used to create the straight area between the chest and
waist. The front edge is further stiffened by a whalebone." The
doublet is 1630s, Natl Museum of Scotland.

Oh, cool, another existant garment I didn't know about. I'll be trying to
get a hold of this book next week, but in the mean time is this garment
pictured anywhere on the net, or does anyone have a copy that they could
scan and send me?
thanks,
Melusine
