I do actually have that image in my files:) And I can probably find it again today. It's an unknown girl by Lucas Cranach and she is in a really dark maroony-wine colour dress. On one sleeve she has some pearl embroidery outlined in fine gold thread. She's on my "I would really like to make that one day list, but I have other things first" list;) I don't think it is full length, but I see no reason to not do the hem the same way. It would look equally fine without it as well. > Thanks for your time and effort and your site ROCKS! Thank you:) It's going to undergo a cosmetic change as well, probably incorporating my style sheets from my personal costume section but altered to suit the nature of the topics.
