CORSET-BODICE AND SKIRT Mid-17th Century MAGYAR NEMZETI MÚZEUM (Hungarian National Museum) Budapest, Hungary

Earlier researches attributed the costume to Pál Esterházy’s (1635–1713) first wife Orsolya Esterházy (1641–1682) and later to his second wife Éva Thököly (1659–1716). The original owner can no longer be traced but the cut and the embroidery ascertain that either could have worn it at her wedding. The suite was restored by Mrs Sándor Borsi between 1969 and 1971.
