I took a photo of one of the triptychs in Vadstena Abbey church during my short visit (I took lots of photos of medieval sculptures too). It's made in northern Germany in the early 16th century and one of the panels showed a very pretty dress.

pinkdiamond, Have you seen those wide short sleeves before, or the beaded cap on top of the typical wired flemish/west german veils? I know neither of you do northern german stuff, but you have studied german dress so much that I believe that if it isn't extremely unusual or some kind of fantasy outfit you will have seen something like it.
Of course I want to make it, but there are so many dresses I want to make.
