| | Ruffs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | In the 1550s, the ruff began the growth which was to culminate in the gigantic ruffs of the 1590s. |
 | | The ruffles were still quite small and box-pleated, but layers of ruffling were stacked on eachother for a thicker, fuller ruff. |
 | | Ruffs of the 1550s and 1560s were decorated primarily along the edges, with fl, gold, silver, or other contrasting embroidery. |
