If you do pattern drafting, there is a German book on drafting historical
costumes and the Cranach gown is in it, it includes the drafting of the
top, sleeves (just the basic ones, all the puffs are on you), and three
possibilities of how to make the skirt. I use this book a lot and though I
haven't made directly this costume, the drafting methods are good and
usually lead to a good solution:-)
It's a publication from Rundschau, a company that makes (modern) drafting
magazines. I believe it costs about 60 euros and it includes drafting
instructions on women's garments from the rennaissance to the 19th
century.

Period Patterns one, but my previous experience with them is that it is so
much work to refit the pattern that I could just as well create the
pattern from scratch. Which I might just do. ;-) Otherwise I may get
Kass' german ladies pattern. What did you use?
Also, I was thinking of doing the alternating colors of the skirts by
sewing together the bands of fabric instead of applique (reverse or
regular). That is why I was concerned about he difference in weight
between the damask and the silk velvet. But I could get a heavier cotton
velvet which might work better and not be as slippery. I am also thinking
of doing a plainer version in wool first to get the kinks worked out and
then do one in the grander fabrics.
