Dress Diaries: Verde (part 1 of ?)

[alessandra_da_firenze]

(This is crossposted from my personal journal, but in the future I'll just be linking!)

I've been inspired by the burial dress of Eleanora di Toledo, although I won't be sticking strictly to it (I like my side lacing, for one thing).



So I'm using a green silk dupioni for the gown. I know, horribly nothing like what it's actually made of, but I loved the color and the shine and...I love it.



Tomorrow there'll be pictures of the beginning of putting it together, trim, and me talking about the pizza cutter!
