Progress. Or is it?

Sunday was a long day spent goggle-eyed over picking one portrait to emulate (I will use this word more often I think.) I have decided to go with the dress seen in the lower right of this painting by Lucas van Leyden. (Wow! I didn't know the background info on the painting. He was only 14 when he painted it!)






















I have the fabric already after a shopping trip to OHCO Warehouse. I have a nice rust fabric for the dress itself, a gold/cream/brown decorated fabric for the first set of undersleeves, and cream fabric for the partlet and poofy under-undersleeves.

Here's hoping it will all work out.

ETA: Yes, van Leyden was a Dutch painter, but you know what...alot of fashion during the 16th was rather interchangeable amongst the different European countries. It'll be fine. :) Maybe I'll make a German hat rather than the veil shown here.
