-----Original Message----- Questions re my ongoing project of H-costume in minature: I have a quest to interpret Maria Teresa coronation gown;.Time: 1740 Books before me: Imperial Style: fashions of the Hapsburg era, #91 Is this gown a velvet 'robe Anglaise' with mantua of silk or is the silk piece a shawl/wrap? or (2) a gown of two pieces with stomacher and 'coat' or shawl What is the color scheme? (My resource is in black and white) I have found the sleeve in "Art of Costume in Russia", plate referance #13 For any one who might have this portrait in color...painted by/ or of the studio of Marten von Meytens. Thanks Kathleen (Who hasn't told Queen Maud that she has another commission!) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
