Guardinfante style is most popular during the 17th century. The Basque was long and wide, and extended down over the top of the wide skirt. shoulder line was usually horizontal and showed necklines. sleeves were full and slashed to show contrasting underlinings and generally ended cuffs. Women wore high chopines with wooden or cork soles that helped to elongate the figure somewhat to compensate for the width of the guardinfante. Skirts were wide with padding around the waist.
