Hazard a guess?

[alysten]

Thanks to hsifeng  for the post to the online book!

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to a time period and culture on this dress? It is in the section labeled Männer- und Frauentracht aus Italien. But is it really Italian? Is the over skirt cartridge pleated or tucked?

Edit: And apparently I need to add a thanks to mmcnealy as well for the link.

OCLC claims the book itself is ca. 1500; the website says 16th-century. Nobody seems to want to get any more specific than that. :)

Im thinking mmcnealy might be right about her guess that it is 1560-1580's or so.
