Persona: Renaissance Flemish working class

I've done the least amount of work on this persona, even though my name comes from 15thC Flanders, and that's where I (nearly) started.  I keep a set of garb in this timeperiod purely for dancing demonstrations for the public, when it would be confusing to have a Bronze Age chick doing the Black Nag.

I currently wear, in pursuit of a working class impression:

GARB PICS

Smocked shift

Wooden sabots

Wool kirtle with plain apron, matching tie-on sleeves

Lace-trimmed cap

SOURCE PICS

Originally based on the following pictures:
Protestantgallery
Particularly:
Catherinavanhemessen
The patterns from:
A Tudor Tailor
Drea Leed
Eva Andersson's Dress Diary

GEAR PICS: I don't keep any Renaissance-era gear.

BIBLIOGRAPHY: There are some useful links on the Useful-Links-Elsewhere list, particularly Drea Leed's reconstructions, which I highly recommend.
