Here ya go Suzi, I've got Arabella Stuart as a child c1577, Eliz I's greatniece IIRC, with what looks like a Peter Pan collar. Cant tell if it's a partlet or smock. Not exactly French, not exactly "woman", yet. "Catherine de Médicis, reine de France (1519-1589), représentée au moment de son arrivée en France - Corneille de Lyons Versailles" which means I probably found it on a French site. Undated. "Marguerite de Valois, Enfant - Francois Clouet - 3eme quartier du 16eme siecle". Also undated. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
