| The immediately inspiring picture. The sleeves and partlet match the forepart. partlet goes over the dress and is not sheer. |
Katherine Parr Shows fur sleeves that don't match the main fabric. Also has tassles on the end of the waist chain. |
A young Princess Elizabeth |
Queen Mary Shows sleeves matching the main fabric and the high-necked partlet - in the full size, you can more clearly see the seam or overlap where the partlet goes. Also shows the lining of the partlet. |

| Anne of Austria Earlier than what I want, but clearly shows a front fastening. |
Jane Seymour Notice the way the light catches the corner at her left shoulder - the way it goes around that corner, is this where the fastening is?!? |
Young Queen Mary There's something slightly weird about the center line, isn't there. |
detail from young Queen Mary There is definitely something odd about this center line - is that just a seam, or is it the fastening? |

Queen Mary again. Definitely a center seam/fastening on the front of that bodice. Also shows an overpartlet matching the sleeve lining. yay. |
Easier to see in the large one, but definitely on the center seam/fastening again. | More center seam/fastening. And tasty overpartlet again. | Is this center fastening? If so, how's the bit across the top work? |

| HM Mary yet again. | Jane Grey again? Interesting that you can see beadwork on the center of the bodice. | A better resolution of the Jane Seymour image, where you can clearly see the pins down the side. Also, take a look at this detail. | Pins are also clearly visible in this image of Lady Pemberton. |

| The Whitehall painting. Not good for detail, but good for overall look. | |||
