2. (2008) 16th Century Smocked camicia based on Prato Museum examples. This was started in 2008.


the original camicia is found in the Prato museum and is made of linen with cross stitch embellishment and pleated sleeves. The embroidery pattern, I made is based on a portrait of Eleanora d'TOledo. The linen was in a large stash I bought in a sale, some years ago. I used black and 'gold' Madiera silk I had. The buttons were silk wrapped over bead buttons. All materials were from stash.
