Subject: [h-cost] Nell Gwyn

I found this in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography:

"Pepys saw Nell again on 1 May 1667, standing at her lodgings' door in Drury
Lane (off Bridges Street, the site of the King's Theatre), 'in her smock
sleeves and bodice . she seemed a mighty pretty creature' (Pepys, 8.193)."

Please, I'd very much like to know what Nell Gwyn was wearing:  can anyone
suggest an illustration which might help?

Linda Walton.
