Aka, finally a new 12th Night gown, aka Trystan wants a black dress, or more properly, a 1560s Medici-inspired Florentine gown.<\/p>\n

\"Isabella<\/a>

Isabella de Medici, circa 1560 by Bronzino<\/p><\/div>\n

But the impetus for this gown is that one of my best friends in the whole world, Sarah Lorraine<\/a>, was offered membership<\/a> in the Order of the Laurel<\/a> in the Society for Creative Anachronism. For those not in the SCA, this is the highest award possible for artisans, it’s equivalent to becoming a knight, & it’s acknowledgement of what a fucking awesome rockstar Sarah is (finally!). There’s a fancy ceremony that admits her into the order, which will happen at 12th Night, the first weekend of January. And we’re dressing up, natch!<\/p>\n

It took a while for Sarah to decide what she wanted to wear — we knew it would be 16th century & fabulous, no doubt. But there was debate about English or Italian fashions. Eventually, she went with Italian, as it’s her current fave, & it’s just so pretty. Her SCA heraldic device is in black & white, so she thought she’d wear black & white.<\/p>\n

Sarah asked Kendra & I to be part of her ceremony, & we decided to make new dresses since neither of us had existing costumes that seemed quite right. And because we’re silly that way, we decided to play backup singers & wear black & white too! Didn’t hurt that we both had a bunch of perfectly appropriate black & white silks in our respective fabric stashes…<\/p>\n

So, I’m taking my inspiration from this portrait of Isabella de Medici, circa 1560 by Bronzino<\/a>. There’s a full-page print of it in the book Moda de Firenza<\/em> that I’ve been drooling over. I won’t do an exact reproduction (I never do), but I like this gown’s basic shape, & I especially love the sleeves. I’ll do a split overskirt, which enhances the look of a veste over a sottana — which I simply do not have the time to make, so I’m faking it. Just making one gown & a petticoat. I have a ton of black silk taffeta in The Stash for the gown & a small piece of black silk embroidered with white that I’ll use for the petticoat\/forepart that shows. I also have lots of pearls & silver trim that I’ll use.<\/p>\n
