This dress is actually the first one that I made for myself last spring but it was rather plain and generic in style so I made a few changes to give it more of an early 16th century Florentine look. I squared the front neckline from the original scoop, added black velvet ribbon trim, made a poste by adding some drapery tassels to a black sash from the bottom of the garb bin (eventually I will replace this with a silk one), and today made a pair of very full sleeves using the pattern provided in Jennifer Thompson's dress diary at Festive Attyre. Please forgive the hastily arranged head wrap and the fact that I forgot to remove my modern jewelry.
