IN THE T.

OF LADIES' DRESS
ME OF QUEEN PHILIPPA.

I beheld them on a day
When their looks out-flourished May ;
And their dressing did out-brave
All the pride the fields then have.

BEN JOHNSON.

EMBROIDERED SHIFTS.—These, ornamented at the
bosoms and collars with needle-work, were much in
fashion in Queen Philippa's time, and "shifts white and
plaited" are frequently spoken of as part of the habit
belonging to an elegant lady of the period. The chemise
of Lady Triamore is described to be "white chaisil,
with embellished borders, and laced on both sides ;"
another poet speaks of a " chemise of chaisil, delicately
wrought with thread." If we may take the word of
Mistress Girtred (Heywood), they cost as much as three
pounds a piece.
THE PARTELETS.—These were made of various stuffs
of the most valuable and delicate kind ; they were made
generally of Venice gold, white thread, lawn, and
wrought with gold about the collars.
THE TIPPET.—This much resembled the partelet ; it
was worn about the neck, and varied in size and form,
being sometimes large and long as a mantle.
THE BANDS for the neck were propped up with wires ;
others fell upon the shoulders, and were denominated
falling bands. In a comedy of the time, a gallant be-
speaks of a milliner five yards of lawn to make his
mistress some falling bands, " three falling one upon the
other; that (says he), is the new edition."
THE COTE OR COAT.—This dress was much affected
by well-made women of fashion ; it was a dress beau-
tifully adapted to the spring and summer ; it was with-
out lining, and fitted so closely to the body that on slim
personable shapes it showed off the form to great ad-
vantage. These small coats were called petit-cotes
(whence our modern petticoat) ; they had, however,
generally trains to them, and were then called long
cotes : women of fashion wore them dashingly orna-
mented with ermine and miniver.

THE WAISTCOAT.—This was also a ladies' garment ;
the following entry- among the Harleian MSS. describes
them :—" Two wastcotes for women, being of clothe of
silver, embroidered ; both of them having sleeves."
THE lincrLE, or Kirtel, was frequently a habit of
State, and worn by persons of high rank : these were of
different textures and different colours, but especially of
green ; and were sometimes laced so closely to the body,
as to answer the service of the boddice or stays. We
find the following measures for the Queen's Kirtle, viz.,
wore them
yards and half a quarter of cloth ; and in another instance
was large and

THE APRON, called by the old poets the lap-cloth, be-
came fashionable among persons of the highest rank,
and was made of the most costly materials.
