Partlets were worn by all Flemish working women, it seems; there are few pictures showing a woman without one during the 1550s to 1570s. They are very easy to make, very versatile (the same partlet can be worn with a 1530s Tudor gown), and invaluable in reducing bodice-burn after long periods of time outdoors.his is a purely practical article on how to make an ensemble which looks, feels, and hopefully moves like those worn by 16th century Flemish marketwomen, servants and kitchenworkers. This page is excerpted from my book, The Well-Dress'd Peasant: 16th Century Workingwoman's Dress.

A democracy is defined as a type of government in which the citizens of the particular country have the right to participate in the decision-making process. In the presidential form of democracy, the president of the country is both the head of state and the head of government. In this form, the president is elected by the citizens. A direct democracy is one in which the people govern directly. Known also as a pure democracy, the people vote on policies directly, rather than through any sort of parliamentary body. Switzerland is a country that follows a direct democratic system of government.
