Nice pics... God I wish I had more time to sew. :)
The Mary Tudor portrait... that looks like multi-coloured tatted lace on the
under-sleeves, between the chemise puffs. How far back does tatting go?

Tatting only goes back into the early 19th century.
It appears to be bobbin lace not tatting and I don't believe that the puffs
are made from the chemise but from an insert of fabric.
The lace on my monitor appears to be gold but it almost looks like the lace
at the edge may be a gold and silver alternating.
