faire dress

[robinsnest]

Yes I'm pondering my dress for faire this year...It's the only definiate plan I have and I want to make something really fabulous.

So I was pretty sure I wanted to make a plate dress like this portrait. It's 1603 which is pushing the very end of my time period here, but I want to make a plate and I am much more drawn to the later portraits. I also find This portrait really interesting, I haven't seen any other bodice pointed to the skirt. Accept maybe the woman with the cream doublet and red velvet skirt that I of course cannot find online at this moment. She's in POF and QEW. Anyone know anything more about her? where I could find a color photo?


But while perusing the met looking for something for shelly I found This portrait. and I have to say I'm very intrigued, it's unlike anything I've seen before, it's very pretty and I want to know more about it

I hadn't thought that it might be built with the white as an under doublet, I went to the Stomacher and under sleeves place. But I had just been looking at lots of late 1590s portraits which have those long boned stomachers...hmmm I need to find out more about this portrait.
