Hello
I am reconstructing the Florentine lady of the Album
Amicorum
http://snipurl.com/h5yn
So far I have established that I will require an
appropriate shift, corset, one-piece overgown (with
waist seam, shoulder rolls and possibly long 'fake'
sleeves, open and tied behind), rope-underskirt or
farthingale, 'decorative' skirt and ruff.
What I'm uncertain about is whether the sleeves shown
(which appear to be white) are part of a complete gown
beneath the 'doublet' style gown or whether they are
likely to have been pinned or tied on. I suppose this
will also affect the 'decorative' skirt - if it is
part of a complete gown then it will have to be
attached...
This is much later than anything else I've tried and
I'm feeling pretty out of my depth. Any advice at all
is very useful!!
Many thanks,
Katherine
