This on has long been my favorite. I have been sketching and searching and
sketching these dresses for years hoping to find the right event to make one
for. Sigh, and the time. :(
Thank you for the new images!!! :)

Quoting otsisto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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. :)
It would be a hoot to do -- and you could carry that picture around with
you and say -- "see! here it is -- wierd Italian garb!" :-)
I thought that the dress has a front panel because of the white dots
running
down the "seam".
I thought that they were buttons!
I haven't seen the weird flemish stuff. Got pictures? :)
Of course! Think about Anne of Cleves dress. If all you knew was
English Tudor, you'd swear that was a Fantasy/Allegorical gown. One
thing that you see quite a bit in Flemish garb -- that may very well be
allegorical is the "overbodice" -- you know like that thing that the
Victorians thought was a part of a bliaut?
Take the Genealogies of the Kings of Portugal -- symbolic in all
probability, but the elements show up a *lot*

my favorite. This was on the cover of the Museum Catalog from the Getty
on Flemish Illuminations. Dig the lady in the powder blue dress with
overbodice a little over halfway down on the right of the image.

Virgin with Saints (Barbara & Catherine of Alexandria)
http://www.wga.hu/art/b/benson/lou_135.jpg
yet another saint -- left panel of triptych

and one of my personal favorites -- dig the pink "3 piece suit" on the
saint in the right panel
http://www.wga.hu/art/m/master/zunk_fl/16_paint/2/05adorat.jpg
Elijah & the Widow of Zarapeth -- dig the sleeves
http://www.wga.hu/art/m/master/zunk_fl/16_paint/1/04adora2.jpg
again symbolic/allegrical, but you got 4 "normal" gowns and that odd
thing in the lower left

Have I overloaded your Wierd Meter yet? :-D
