mmcnealyThis has actually been done for about a month or so, but I've been too busy/lazy to get a pic on the web.

Its not a landsknecht dress, but rather a town dwellers dress, from Augsburg about 1525 ish, its my work and camp dress and is very comfy. The bodice is self supporting, no bra or corset needed or worn, 100% linen for those hot summer days, short enough that I can walk up stairs with an armload of stuff and not trip over the hem.
I do realize that the guards on the skirt are a little early in time for this area, I at least can't find documentation for them in this area this early, later in the 1570's yes, but not 1530's. However, the skirt looked pretty plain without them and people kept confusing me with being Flemish (*gasp*), so I added the guards so that there would be no confusion in the common mind that it was indeed German.
Also, the partlet/undergoller is in the middle of being fixed so that it doesn't expose my neck and make me look like a cheap woman off exposing her neck to the world to attract men into sin. ;)
