I found the original post. The effergy is from c1535 and is of Edith Pexall nee Brocas. This was noted by Dr. Jane Malcolm Davies. On first look I thought it might be a fold in the kirtle at least thats what it looked like to me. The kirtle looks almost to long almost as if it were more a nightgown(Chemise) and a kirtle over it? I was just wondering if kimiko or someone could give me more info on Edith Pexall also such as her status (Nobility?). I'm just very interested in this time period of history and its dress. Thanks, Lynn Ps How common was this in period?

It's from Weidnitz "Trachtenbuch" about 1530 or 1540. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2767477510025622007ZaBAUb MaggiRos --- Lynn Roth wrote: > Do you have a picture of the entire effergy?
