In fact, this portrait was one of my early inspirations for what became the 1580s gown. I love the stripes, of course, and I really love the high, closed doublet front (and I did go for that style in the other gown too). The little ruffs, the slashed rolls at the sleeve heads, even the row of buttons up the front &#8212; all are such great details. So very tempting. And again, stripes!<\/p>\n<p>For reference, the original portrait is by Paolo Caliari of the Veronese era, dated about 1560-70, and titled &#8220;Portrait of a Lady with a Dog.&#8221; The actual portrait is in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and I got the image from the fabulous <a href=\"http:\/\/realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Realm of Venus<\/a> site. The picture on this page is my colorized version to simulate what I hope to make.&lt;p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The costume started coming together around my birthday. Tish gave me three yards of yummy black silk as a gift. Sarah said, &#8216;you could squeeze a kirtle out of that.&#8217;\u00a0 Also for my birthday, my mom took me shopping. At Jo-Ann&#8217;s Fabrics, I saw some lovely burgundy tone-on-tone fabric in the decorator section. Nice weight, some kind of blend, but not totally synthetic, with a beautiful drape. So Mom bought me that, and *ta-da* I&#8217;ve got the start of my Veronese &#8212; but in the colors I adore.<\/p>\n<p>Later on, I found an eBay seller making nifty ruffs for a great price. I ordered a full neck and wrist suit in black, edged in lace. Didn&#8217;t want to make that myself.<\/p>\n<p>These bits are now languishing in a bin, waiting until I have time to make them into the gown itself. Ideally, this will be a new ensemble for the SCA 12th Night Coronation&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
