Is that style of dress come from a specific portrait and called a certain
dress like the Eleanora de Toledo gown? Do you have a place I can get a
similar pattern so I can make one for myself? I have lots of popular made
patterns but not that one. I love the red and the split front. Any suggested
online sources or images I can refer to long the way?
I'm making one for my daughter from the Princess Elizabeth portrait 1545. It
looks great so far. I love it. I can't wait to make one for myself. I
thought of making several for us as we start our journey into Ren Faires and
SCA events.

What do you want to know about it?

Earlier in the year, you may remember I made some costumes for a group of
dancers called Danse Ecosse http://www.apux03.dsl.pipex.com/
You can now see a photo, if you are interested, here.

The lady on the right in the first picture is wearing a dress copied from
a Titian painting of Isabella of Portugal, which I made about 20 years
ago for a previous customer, which is why it needs re-fitting. And why
the lady in the middle is not wearing a corset is a question I shall be
asking the next time I see her - her dress looks great with the corset!
