Feeling Flemish | Trystan's Costume Closet
French countrywoman by Lucas de Heere, late 16th c. showing an early example of iron ring pattens. Don't care about the pattens - general style, yes. Ruff, partlet, pinned on sleeves, apron, different colors in gown and sleeves, shoes, stockings, skirt length, cap, veil, stomacher ?
Elizabethan
Details of the construction of Melanie Schuessler's "Flanders Gown" from the Janet Arnold pattern books. I think this construction, with the pad stitching and arrangement of boning, seems far more effective than other methods I've seen. Alternatively, cartridge pleating (without other stiffening) the sleeve head does work, but is less effective, and if you move much, you will end up with deep creases in the sleeve head.
