\"Isabella<\/a>

Isabella von Valois (image source: Kunsthistorisches Museum)<\/p><\/div>\n

I think I’d like to make this gown for the SCA 12th Night this year. I can use the same side-laced bodice pattern as the black and grey 1570s<\/a> gown. If I don’t get it trimmed, I can still wear it plain. So it’s not as super-mega labor-intensive as my initial plan of making the MQoS pink<\/a> gown for this event.<\/p>\n

At Jo-Ann’s today, I bought a burgundy taffeta for the petticoat (so looks like it’ll be a split-front gown!) and burgundy velveteen for hem and bodice guarding. Bits of both fabrics will be incorporated in the sleeves to tie everything together visually. I have some faux garnet and pearl beads left in The Stash, along with some unused gold braid and scroll trim, all of which are suitable for bodice and sleeve trims.<\/p>\n

Another inspiration image: Isabella von Valois<\/a>, painted by Alonso S\u00e1nchez Coello in 1560, held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum. I like the split overskirt and the classically French bodice shape. The trimming is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

The sleeves are intriguing — I like the spiral, but not the aglets (those would annoy me, all the crap hanging off!). I really like the contrast of the sleeves, with the reddish top portion and white lower sleeve. Not that I’ll do that; my whole fabric scheme is very tone-on-tone. This is just something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

The shape and width of this skirt indicates a farthingale is worn underneath. It’s wider than all of the gowns in the tapestries, although one of gowns in the tapestry is distinctly narrow. The rest are middling wide — could be over small farthingales or at least stiff, corded petticoats. Ultimately, my skirt width will be based on how much fabric I have to work with, especially since I’ll be matching up the damask pattern for best effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
