http://photos.ladybrooke.com/sca/gowns/velvetgown/gettingstarted.htm is a
strapless Tudor gown, it is not an uncommon theory on Tudor construction
her finished product does look good except for the bumroll under the skirt
which just doesn't fit with the smooth Tudor look.
Thank you! That's the site I was thinking of. I'm planning to make this:

and am flirting with the idea of a strapless design.
I have plenty of evidence of gowns from this era with shoulder straps, with
a much lower incidence of gowns that look strapless, but this one definitely
falls into the strapless camp. If only all my lovely back-view shots
weren't of the strapped version.... (Or, maybe the strapless versions look
strapped from behind! Hrm.)
