This query concerns nomenclature for historic costumes. I am studying a
polychrome and gilt 16th-17th century bas relief sculpture of English
origin. Many layers of overpaint obscure detail and make it difficult to
differentiate parts of costumes and floral decoration.
I am seeking an illustrated guide that names parts or pieces of period
English costumes, in print or on-line.
With many thanks,
Jamie
