IT has been suggested that I research costume trims for the period from
which I want to make a dress. I like the portraits Elizabeth Values,
Katherine Parr so that is between 1550 to 1580 period. If I use the
Katherine Parr dress for sure then the date is narrowed down.
Any suggestions as to WHAT to do with this part of my dress. Sketch has been
posted earlier.

want. I want a thinner, warm weather verision and different sleeves.

When I reviewed my sketch I came up with these questions that might need
to be answered before I get started.
1. Tabs at the waist- does the dress have the beaded girle or not?
2. If the underpinning has tabs should the outter dress have tabs?
3. If the waist has tabs should the hsoulders be the same technique?
4. Should the entire unders kirt that shows doe=wn the front be the same
fabric or just the front panle that shows?
5. Is there a way to sew a prectector fabric for the lower hem for when it
drags on the ground?
I plan to have several types of sleeves to match the weather. I may create
a doublet for the colder days. but that is far down the road.

<<My Renaissance dress is similar to this one:
"Elisabeth von Valois" Alonso Sanchez Coello, 1565

I have a photo of a great picture of this, the bodice is *not* divided
up
the front. It is much like other bodices that probably have a
"stomacher"
front with a divided skirt.

OK, so I uploaded it already
The v left between the bands of embreoidery at the centre front is a
little
odd, but you can clearly see the satin beneath is not seamed at all nor
is
the horizontal band across the top interupted. This is more usual in
French
bodices of this time (compare to other Clouet paintings.
Oh, I just noticed the wires through the pearls in her parure. Very cool.
I also found a great reproduction of the portrait of Eleanora di Toledo
in
pink, you can easily see her partlet and how the braid used on it was
used
for her hair (though possibly a wider one in the hair net) and was
overlaid
with a black ribbon for the partlet.
