Okay, maybe I am not understanding. Yes, the "bumper pads" all the way
around don't seem unusual. i.e. this is a "French Farthingale" - no rigid
frame, but like the infamous characature of the women about masks and
farthingales. Maybe I am not understanding the comments, (not just
Nicole's) but this one appears like she is protruding extremely in the front
but not at the hips....who knows what's going on with her backside......
Am I missing what you are saying?

I don't think she is, unless every other woman of this period who wears her
fashionable clothes in the same way, is pregnant on portraits. I have many
examples amongst my files that look just like this one.

I just sat down to start drafting the underpinnings for this gown
http://www.saragrace.us/images/GoldenAge/PAM_PICS/Overall.JPG<http://www.saragrace.us/images/GoldenAge/PAM_PICS/Overall.JPG>
and all of a sudden realized the gown does not seem symmetrically round.
Doesn't this seem much further out in the front than everywhere else?
Do you think she is pregnant?
Seems a little low for pregnancy.
Thanks!
