#42 Grey Cotton and Linen Zimmara (loose gown)

I have made another loose gown with some loose weave cotton jacquard I bought on sale quite a while ago. The linen lining was also bought on sale quite some time ago. This is the last of the lot I bought then. THe buttons are made from crochet thread, woven and wound over wooden beads.
This was the inspiration:

This was made to wear over the grey linen sottana (#41). I reinforced the upper body of the gown with a 1/2 linen lining, as it was loose weave material (and did drop quite a bit,making the hem annoying to even up later) but it was made for summer so I used lightweight materials that would breathe. (no synthetics). The sleeves were split - again to aid in air circulation for summer.
A white bias edging was added and handclipped as seen in zimmara in portraits of Eleanora d'Toledo.
