hems.. that is the rub. many of the portraits do not show the hems... bother!!
:(
some interesting titbits to suggest trim on the hem...

Eleanora's burial dress hem had trim. (1562), as does the red dress from Pisa (about same time) these have comparable sleeves to your dress... sort of..

Pics earlier that show hem with trim:

I would love to find some portraits from 1540-1550s that show the hem, for more info..

Good luck.
