Female underpinnings, mid to late 19th century. Elegant and prettily embellished underwear – undershirt, petticoat, and bloomers. From the McCord Museum.
Vintage underwear piece, the late 1500s. Illustration from the book “Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd” by Janet Arnold. These are women’s linen drawers from the late 16th century adorned with silk, gold, and silver embroidery. From The Met collection.
Delicate and sheer vintage ruff collars, the 19th century. They were not stiff, as you would expect from a ruff collar, and were attached to a chemisette worn over a dress. So, it’s more of a top with a collar than just a collar.
