Original: 16th Century Waistcoat

 In honor the Faire I'd be attending but for the plague, a 16th century woman's waistcoat:

Embroidered linen waistcoat, 16th century, Art Institute of Chicago

The description says it's a plain-woven linen with silk and metallic (silver) embroidery. I suspect from the wings over the sleeves, that it's from the end of the century. I would love to get a closer look at those gusset seams (are they corded or just embroidered?).
