Hi,
The inventory list i have read is from Queen Anna Cathrine of Braunsweig who
married the king Christian IV of Denmark. She died in childbirth in the
beginning of 1600. Both wide and narrow dresses are mentioned as well as
farthingales with rolls.
I think the period they would like me to make for the museum would be cirka
1560 - 80

In some danish inventory lists, which all are written in german (it was the
language used then in Denmark) it is often mentioned with wide dresses and
narrow dresses.
If by "renaissance" you mean 16th century, then my first thought would be
that a "wide" dress is made to go over a farthingale and a "narrow" dress is
not (and would be worn with only petticoats).
Welcome back!
