Medieval Costume - Detail of Pluderhosen Part One

I had a thought. I thought it might be fun to make some pleated elizabethan-era 'pluderhose'. I made some, but I thought they came up too high above the knees, and, well, looked a bit silly. And I didn't want to do that... So I made three pairs, two of which I stitched together, and here they are. The top part is a very basic design, and usually includes leather lining at the front, but I cut that part, and put in some loops of wide black ribbon and some slim silver ribbon (threaded through the loops) to open and close the front, in a laced corset kind of way... I don't know if there's a technical term for that! The lower (red and black) part is a more complicated pattern that wasn't really in vogue for very long. I say in the title of this post that it is 'medieval' because it fits in with another set of clothes I made recently, so although really it's more tudor, just bear with me!
