Re: [h-cost] Sorting out a confused gown
HI Isabella, Thanks for these leads. Yes, that is the gown I believe it is based on. I've had people comment on the similarities in the past but had forgotten. I want to make another Bronzino, I love this style.

Re: [h-cost] Sorting out a confused gown
Hi De Thanks for those leads. I'm thinking off taking off the tabs at the waist as they were an afterthought as the rest of my dance group wears English elizabethan. Then make a partlet (?) like in the Bronzino paintings.
