Okay, I need to do a kitbash of a late 17th century lady. i.e., Restoration era. The attached is something like I'm after. Doesn't have to be identical. Doesn't need to be a full figure outfit since it will be turned into a portrait on a wall. Would prefer not to have to deal with dynamics.
What's needed; a bodice with the wide, off-shoulder neckline. A lace bertha, or other neckline decoration which attaches from such a neckline would be a bonus. Would need to go around the shoulders as well. Also need a pair of puffed/slashed sleeves which attach below the shoulder point. Skirts at that point were taking on a bustle effect, that can be found, too.
I know potential components are out there, and I probably already have some of the possibilities, but I am going to need to be out the door in an hour and don't have time to go hunting. If anyone can think of suggestions off the top of their head, please mention them here, and I'll check when I get home. Thanks everyone. I'l post the portrait wall (this is one of several) here when it's complete.

Swamp witch and the female Pirate clothing for G2 spring to mind. I use both extensively for my 7th Sea stuff. This is a camo picture I did for a project that's still in the works (I'm debating on re-rendering with dForce for the sleeves.) using simple cloth shaders on Swamp Witch.
The top from LLF's Snow bride could be useful https://www.daz3d.com/snow-bride-for-v4
How about these?

I'd forgotten about the Snow Bride with that off-the shoulder collar. Yes that might work very well for the base. I can go at it with the geometry editor if I can't turn the original sleeves off. All of the others are close to a century too late. I may end up having to hunt bits and pieces to put together what I need.
Thanks for the efforts.
Well, I did manage something that would *about* do for the purpose. I did mess with the Snow Bride shawl, but it wasn't cooperative.
Once I had the chance to do a bit more of a hunt, it seems that over on RDNA there had been a couple of outfits for the Cavalier era for gen4, which was a 20-30 years earlier. I attempted those as well. They almost worked. But being gen4, even with some 3rd-party autofit utilities, they would shrinkwrap, and that makes things harder to deal with.
One of those sets was an outfit called 'Milady' which had separate sleeves which made usable components. I ended up working with the MFD and its expansions, of all thngs. I quite didn't get the off-the-shoulder neckline and the neckline really ought to be at the top of the corset (except that there isn't a corset), but given that the final version is about the size of a postage stamp, it will, as I say, just about do.
Thanks for the assistance. And thanks for the reminder about the pirate outfit The hip shawl made a nice touch.
Here's the full collection of the portraits. The restoration lady is 2nd from the left of the middle row.
I am presuming that you're talking about the more wealthy members of society? And from your description, I think it's a safe assumption. :)
Information on the average person (especially the poor) is much harder to come buy.
Likely the shape and to some extent the style would suffice there.
It's an illo for a Harry Potter fanfic. Various Chief Witches and Wizards of the Wizengamot over recent centuries. Yeah, a prosperous lot, overall.
