Subject: [h-cost] Images of 16th century ladies.
I have just spent heaven knows how long trying to find an image of an
English or French woman on the 1570's, who does not have either a ruff, or
a partlet, or a closed up neckline.

What about this portrait
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/images/DevereuxSisters.JPG you can find a brief
biography of the subjects at http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/DEVEREUX.htm it's
dated 1581, so it's a little outside your time period but it's all I could
find maybe they were behind the fashion? Though with Lettice Knollys as
their mother I'd doubt it.
