Large Linen & Lace Ruff
This ruff is another piece that was originally planned for my presentation at the Westcoast Elizabethan Clothing Symposium ( "Wearing vs Styling: Accessorizing to Create a Period Look" ), which focused on using accessories to build a richer, more period wardrobe. Specifically, it was meant to feature in Part 3 of my talk, which centered on re-styling the same black fitted gown for different decades (from 1540-1650).
