isabelladangeloAfter reading a couple of articles on them, I went to the MET website. If you click on the unicorn tapestries link, you can easily zoom in and out of photos. The one I like is when they bring the unicorn back becuase....the gowns.
The link "should" take you to a specific gown shown in the tapestries. It's pink. It's very early tudor. (Late 15th, early 16th) but...the gown is a bit odd. Notice the construction. The gown has a wrap top with an attached skirt! This would certainly make it easy to get on and off and have no lacing! I ahve no idea what support it would provide or if a corset would be worn with such a gown. I'll keep researching this style because...no lacing!
