http://www.myspace.com/1aspasia (no .com after that) Best to copy and paste as, in my mail anyway, the automatic linking started from the 1 last time ;) You also need to be a member of myspace (which I am, geek*) to see the photos. I'm not sure which of the images you are aiming for but at least one figure in the Herod scene has a close front bodice and if you haven't already started the bodice that might be a way to go. http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/o/ordonez/d_felipe.html http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/j/juan/1/lazarus2.html http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/j/juan/1/herodias.html http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/b/borgona/ladyhare.html http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/g/gallego/catholic.html Those are examples from 1490-1515 with the closed front and no hoops. I think the bust portrait you have (also on WGA and by Juan de Flandres) is of a no hooped sort too. All the images I've seen show no indication that the gowns open below the waist of the skirt. Most lacing visibly finishes at the waist, such as the two main figures in the Herod image. I have seen, and cannot find it again, a c1500s painting with the Madonna weeping and what may be side lacing. But I cant find it again so that may be poor memory.
