the dress reminds me of details of several types of the southern german types from the 1470-1500s, but i'll have to check up more on that when i get home. this girl is not allowed too much dresshistory research during work hours ;)
the only thing that strikes me somewhat out of place is the contrast coloured sleeves (or is it a sleeveless kirtle?) to that type of dress, but if the paint is secondary that could be one explanation.
pretty dress though! i like those types, and very interesting to see there might be local versions in sweden! i do wonder what they base their dating on, as i would say it is an earlier dress than the first part of the 16th C. but indeed, we did lag a bit behind fashionwise i guess, especially in the countryside... but that much?
