I think I'm going to focus my persona on 1560- early into Elizabeth's reign. This is before ruffs get outrageous, and blackwork is still smaller, and Elizabeth wore more double style bodices.

Why in fucking hell would you wear something that makes you look like you've been beheaded and it's holding your head attached?

Sorry....I think that the leine that I have a pattern for will be much more comfy :)
