No, not so right.... The garments were textures after actual historic paintings and are most certainly recognizeable on the respective Ladies (whose names they even bear!) if you look at the actual painting ;-) Now what surprises me is that you name the historic Eleonora Di Toledo in one sentence and a fictional Eleonora in another.... once again: no fictional characters involved here. Eleonora Di Toledo is right, now find out if it is one of the two dresses from a painting or the "other" garment, and name its purpose and wearing time. And, yes, I actually have a reason to ask for the wearing time, because the answer is probably beyond anything you could imagine without knowing the purpose of the garment. Another hint I can give that all three paintings belong to the italian- and french renaissance - nothing english involved here. One of the Ladies had a famous name sister who later became queen - but it is not Maria Stuart. Oh, come on, I have given sooooo many hints now. Is it indeed so difficult?
