Bridal Crowns from Baden

German traditional costume is notable for its eccentricities, but these bridal crowns must be some of the most extraordinary. This is from St Georgen in the southern reaches of the Black Forest.

17th Century Gowns

While I can't say that 17th century fashion is my particular favorite, I do love the amount of lace detail seen on the ruffs and the gowns. I just wanted to share some pictures I found particularly striking.

Some of the pictures were really large, so if you want to view a larger and more detailed image of one of the works, you can go to my lj picture gallery.

Work: Portrait of Margherita Gonzaga
Artist: Frans Pourbus the Younger
Date: C. 1605.

( More Gowns from 1605 to 1640s )
