Here's another dress Nessa wears in "The Healer and the Pirate," sketched by Julie. It's a fancy dress--a true one-piece garment without a separate bodice at all. It laces up the sides to flatter the waist. It's made of something we called silk in the book, though it's not actually made from silkworm cocoons. Elves and fairies both make fabric similar to silk, through magic, though it's quite costly--in fact, this dress costs at least two months' wages to a common man. The seams are so fine it's likely it was sewn together by fairies or magic.
The skirt is three fine layers, though the illustration doesn't particularly reflect that. Flowing sleeves are gathered at the elbow.
The undershirt doesn't look particularly feminine. Interesting; I wonder what the story is behind that...
