In Elizabethan England, the "jupe" was regarded as a French-style clothing item, and some accounts of the wardrobe of
Elizabeth I mention a "jupe or Gascon coat". The jupe was apparently a riding garment and was worn by women with a "
safeguard" skirt. In October 1564, a jupe was made for
Mary, Queen of Scots with bodice and sleeves (
avec le corps et manche). Some accounts of
her execution, relate that she wore a red bodice or "pair of sleeves", described in French as "
une juppe de velloux cramoisy brun". A similar item is included in the
1586 inventory of her clothes. At the Scottish court four male pages and an
African servant of
Anne of Denmark were supplied with orange jupes in October 1590. In the 1590s, an Edinburgh tailor Patrick Nimmo supplied outfits comprising
doublets, jupes, and breeches to clients including John Hamilton of Lettrick,
Robert Jousie, Thomas McClellan of Barneicht, and Peter Kennoquhuy. ==See also==
