Something is not right about this Fox story.

That girl was born in 1585. She was 12 by 1597. If so, then this is a “16th century dress.”

The ship sank in 1643, when the countess was almost 60. Maybe she just had a small build, or was corseted extremely tightly, or the display or photograph gives a mistaken impression of the dress size.

It was that leap century they added in 1200.
