Albrecht Dürer : Three Mighty Ladies from Livonia (1521)
Livonia was the area on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. Found at Uncertain Times. I wish I had time to look up some information about this curious fashion, but garden chores await...
p.s. - for some reason the triangular top on the lady on the far left reminds me of a flatworm...
Update: A reader from Latvia comments that these costumes are not traditional eastern Baltic outfits, but are rather dresses of the German aristocracy of the time.
