I will likely use the de Toledo pattern for a basis. I've made a couple
gowns with it before so I am familiar with it.
I'm thinking it's a brown wool/ or silk with silk velvet ribbon
appliqued on. I understand the chemise. But I don't really understand
the wrap and head covering. Does anyone have an idea of what/ how it's
made? thanks!
The "wrap" looks like a partlet (I can see a collar) made from a heavily
textured fabric, with fringe. It may be a size too small for the wearer,
or maybe it's just painted badly.
Not sure what's going on with the headdress in the same fabric.
Dawn
