I hadn't thought of gores but I think you may be on to something here. This would solve some peoples problems with not having enough fabric of one color. :) I thought that the dress has a front panel because of the white dots running down the "seam". I haven't seen the weird flemish stuff. Got pictures? :)

It almost looks like it could be a 10-gore gown with each gore a different color! -- and the *only* reason that I make that outlandish statement, is that the stripes appear wider around her hips than they do her neckline. Yep, Italian wierdness. It's not as d as some of the Flemish stuff that you run across though!
