EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the late 15th century in Germany, where noblewomen of rank donned sumptuous garments that reflected their status and wealth. In the first depiction, a lady wears a gown with a deep fur hem and a falling collar, both elements adding an air of opulence and luxury. Beneath this outer layer, an ornate kirtle with intricate patterns and textures is revealed. A loose belt cinches the waist, accentuating the hourglass figure, while the overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. In the second illustration, another noblewoman is shown wearing a gown with a square neckline and wide funnel sleeves, both popular styles of the late 15th century. A girdle, often made of expensive materials like velvet or silk, is worn around the waist, emphasizing the waistline and creating an hourglass silhouette. The lady completes her ensemble with a bonnet or headdress, adorned with delicate flowers or jewels, and carries a purse or pouch, essential for carrying personal items and valuables. These German noblewomen, with their intricately designed garments and accessories, embodied the grandeur and sophistication of the late 15th century. Their attire not only served as a symbol of their social standing but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the time.
