This pattern appears to be Early Tudor, pre 1550s. I had thought that the farthingale came into play in England about the 1550s. The Spanish and some Italian states had the farthingale in 1540s. . Example of 1528-30 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gablehood_front-back_c1535.jpg There doesn't seem to be a farthingale.

De -----Original Message----- Is there a farthingale pattern? That seems to be the only significant thing missing, you've got all the accessories and the underwear except for a farthingale and possibly petticoats. It doesn't seem like a complete package without a farthingale, as you can't get the proper 1540s-50s upper class silhouette without one.
