bunnyjadwigaTattycat asked me about this book, but of course I can't find the actual book (I need to get to my boxes of books stored in the attic).
Olga Sronkova, Fashions through the centuries: Renaissance, baroque, and rococo.. (London, Spring Books 1959) (Originally published in German by Artia Press; I believe it is the same title as La mode du XVème au XVIIIème siècle.)
Sronkova is the same woman who wrote Gothic Women's Fashion, the book that pointed out the similarities between the dress of "Bohemian Bathhouse Girls" and the undergarment possibly shown in some pictures of the period.
In the Fashions through the centuries book, though, she is really concentrating on Bohemian fashion, which seems to have been heavily dependent on the Spanish Renaissance styles during that time period. This is only obvious when you start looking at the sources/provenances of the illustrations.
