I found the dress in thier periods gallery under "The Medieval Age of Chivalry 1100 -1485. I have not found the wording "Medieval inspired" anywhere with this dress. Perhaps they have documentation for the coloured gores. I have seen at least two "Italian" dresses that look as if they have different colored gores from the rest of the dress but not in the style that is on the Chimera site. I have emailed them to inquire if they may have a source for the different colored gores. I found the Buckles and clasps. One needs to go to the haberdashery and up in the corner in the "search" will take you to the page.
De ----- Original Message ----- In defence of this company in particular the example we've been discussing is in their custom made section, so presumably it's a customer's design not their own. Their readymade stuff looks fairly good as does most of their custom made stuff, and they do describe the fantasy stuff as 'medieval inspired' or '15th century inspired' etc. http://chimera-costumes.co.uk/ Elizabeth -------------------------------------------- Elizabeth Walpole Canberra Australia ewalpole[at]tpg.com.au http://au.geocities.com/amiperiodornot/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
