The second link went to a French site. I do not have access or do not
understand what to do. My French is very rusty. Please explain what to do or
translate it for me so I can. It doesn't matter to me if it's in French. I
can always find a translator for a passage or try to do it myself. I'd have
to look up y school text book. But I can if I have to.
Thanks for the picture.
I do rmemeber someone having details of this dress sometime ago. They
discussed the covers for the ties on the sleeves and how to make the spiral
cut sleeves. I think I can make it iwth what I have but details will make it
easier.
If someone knows of the diary for this dress, please post it to me.

Here is a bigger picture that might help.

If it is small, click on the picture and it will enlarge.
Someone had a dress diary online for this.
The partlet seems to be a lattice of pearls and gems connected to a sheer
material.
This Portrait is Isabel Valois, French. It appears to have an opening in
the
front. Most portraits I have seen of French gowns are usually in the front
but I haven't been about to figure out the solid section between the
embroidered bands.
These are done by Clouet. Click on Notice complete, which will take you to
that particular pictures info. Then click the picture to enlarge.

My Renaissance dress is similar to this one:
"Elisabeth von Valois" Alonso Sanchez Coello, 1565
http://www.mauritia.de/de/renaissance/elisabethvalois.html
Does anyone have details of the front and partlet area?
Also this one looks like it is divided in the front, but not exactly like
the Venetian courisan type dress. I'd rather have a dress that opens in
the
front. Are there any other examples of front opening dresses from the
period
of 1565 -1580.
I've used various styles to make my own combination of the parts I like.
I'll post it as soon as I scan the sketch.
