It is very tempting.
The style of this gown is late renaissance. With a farthingale a little
bigger than the original in the spanish book. More like a crinoline style.
White underskirt is slashed, and overdress has a small "peplum skirt" over
the top. Ruff is edged with reticella lace and is not close fitted to the
neck, but hangs down a little in the front, but it is starched. Cuffs are
reticella lace. What a luck i baught the reproduktion lace from Michelas
site in England. Could be very handy here. Style is like the van Dyke
portraits or Rubens. She wears a hood wich is curved in each side of the
forehead, black edged with lace.
The museum is located in the county where this queen lived as a widdow, so
this is why they want it.

Bravo, Bjarne. What a fitting recognition for your wonderful skills and
accomplishments!
You sound as if you're very tempted.
These projects sound like something a bit new for you, a chance to
stretch...
You COULD tell yourself that garments for exhibition aren't QUITE
"costumes"...and so you wouldn't be breaking your promise to yourself not
to make any more "costumes"...
Keep us posted about what you decide!
Best wishes,

Hi,
I just got an enquiry from a museum. Because this year it is renaissance
year, a museum has purchased money to get 2 costumes done. I am asked to
do
them. I would make a dress after a portrait of Queen Sophie (the queen
they
remade the wedding dress for) - as a widow. A black dress, small white
ruff
and a black hood.
Then i should also make a prince outfit for a boy, the chosen prince who
died in 1647. This is rather late, and i dont think it has much to do with
renaissance, but..........
Oh and i had promised myself from stopping making costumes, and besides,
the outfits has to be finished in about 3 months. ..............
Ah i really dont know, but would be very tempting
