I was trying to get rid of a few unwanted stuff when I found a few of my college projects.
My "Ladies in Waiting" from the Medieval Times.
Petrus Christus, "Portrait of a Female Donor", c. 1450
Rogier van Weyden, "Portrait of Isabelle of Portugal", 1445-1450
Lady in Waiting No. 1 is wearing a blue houppelande with velvet detail at the neckline with a camisole underneath. A henin completes her outfit.
Found this photo which reminded me of the one I made. Coincidence perhaps? :)
This one features another version of the houppelande but with a "fur" detail at the neckline and a heart-shaped henin instead of a cone-shaped. I'd say that this is a personal favorite.

Faye Dunaway as Yolande D'Aragon in the film "The Messenger" which is a retelling of the life and times of Joan of Arc.
Our last Lady in Waiting is wearing a surcote over a fitted dress with a cape.
Her hair is kept in a mesh bag sewn with pearls.
In case you're wondering, The Ladies in Waiting are all "safe". :)
