-----Original Message----- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Linda Walton Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 2:54 PM To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Nell Gwyn I found this in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "Pepys saw Nell again on 1 May 1667, standing at her lodgings' door in Drury Lane (off Bridges Street, the site of the King's Theatre), 'in her smock sleeves and bodice . she seemed a mighty pretty creature' (Pepys, 8.193)." Please, I'd very much like to know what Nell Gwyn was wearing: can anyone suggest an illustration which might help? Linda Walton. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
