Quoting Sue Clemenger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Truly? I've seen a couple of books and museums claim that, but it's always
the wrong dress. Which painting are you referring to?
--Sue (16th century geek ;o)
I believe that it's this painting (and I can't remember if it's a
Bronzino or an Allori)

Well, drat -- no it's not. There's no trim up the center-front.
*sigh* That's the one that I was thinking of anyway.

Another earlier example is the Eleanor of Toledo "burial dress" -- she
also wore it when she was alive and was painted in this gown at least
once (so you can't say it was pieced because she was buried in it)
