Dress in Köln: 1560-1570

[hsifeng]

The following two images are both from various “Kostüme der Männer und Frauen” books located on the BSB (original links here and here). They both appear to be images of women from Köln from around 1560-1570. As my character is from Köln (silver miners daughter ya’ll!) and I was considering making a ‘later period’ set of clothes for the Elizabethan events that I attend, I went looking for correct regional images.

 

Nice to see that they had a lot of variety of style in Köln….(*insert sarcasm here*)

Before someone jumps in, I know artists copied each other...*grin*

EDIT - more goodies!

It is not one of the pieces I have a *lot* of familiarity with, but I believe the whole thing (duck bill included) is part of a cloak. If I remember correctly, that particular style is very regional and is worn for Church.
