1680s pompadour dress with a fontage (the thing on top of her head)
Colonial/Georgian style dress
Barbara Villiers, copied from this painting by Sir Peter Lely.
She was a (the first?) mistress of Charles II.
I like post-restoration dresses in England. I like just thinking about it: in the decade of the 1650s under Cromwell, dress was controlled by Puritans and "morality police"; but then when the king returned to the throne in 1660, BAM! boobs are back!

That's it for now! Happy drawings!
