I have finally finished my latest project. This was made with dark grey linen leftover from my daughter's Hermoine skirt and bought a couple of years ago.
The imbusto is layered with wool felt and canvas, herringbone stitched together by hand, and leftover from previous sottana. The hem stiffening is also from wool felt.
The sleeves are lined with red linen leftover from my daughter's red linen dress.
It is again based on the extant Eleanora d'Toledo burial gown and Red dress from Pisa.
