I'd like to thank everyone who has sent information and links to images:
they have given me a much better idea of how Nell would have appeared.
And I apologise for taking so long to respond - the power supply plug
on my computer went wrong and had to be replaced. (Grrr!)

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.
