Do you have a picture of the entire effergy? I'm wondering if what looks like a short gown over a kirtle is really a fold of the kirtle? Lynn

Although I'd class this as much different than the thigh-high overgown of the tryptych. This one is ankle-length with a longer-than-floor-length underskirt, after all. I wonder if there was some element of modesty for the effigy involved, so one couldn't look up her skirts, or if it is an accurate version of what they were wearing? It certainly should pool prettily around the feet when upright. cv _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
