There is a Kirtle with a Ropa (I think that's what the over-dress is called) over it in Janet Arnold. Oh look....here's an image of it:

I thought there was also a Ropa that went over this (It's clearly supposed to be covered up in the back!) -----Original Message----- From: Leif og Bjarne Drews <[email protected]> To: Historical Costume <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, May 14, 2011 12:11 pm Subject: Re: [h-cost] some questions about renaissance, Thankyou for the link otisto, I have thoaght about this kind of dress being a narrow dress two, so the dress inside the overdress is a kirtle right? Nice to see collour to this fashion, in Denmark almost every portrait is showing black fashion, guess its because Denmark was a prottestant country. I have thoaght about making the dress something like this.
