Czech adaptation of Spanish fashion
The
clothing was inspired by depictions of noblewomen from the
Žerotín Epitaph (anonymous, around 1575, Chateau Opočno). The
stiffened conical underskirt according to the Spanish fashion
was at that time referred as a parkykál or kortukál. The
stiffened bodice part could be demandingly decorated, as
evidenced by the entry from 1572 mentioning "bodice with good
silver laces trimmed". The fastening could be on hooks.
According to the order issued by Emperor Rudolf in 1578, "skirt
with a bodice" and "skirt with a jubon" were strictly separated.
Satin mantle is underlined with fur. The garment also includes
lace ruff and cap.
