How beautiful! I really like that fabric (faux silk or no), and the picture itself is a nice one.

I am curious about your choice of the scoop neckline. All of my research from this time period has either a deep 'V' or a square neck line, if it doesn't come all the way up to the base of the neck.

Admittedly, this is not my area of expertise - I based this gown off of Marie Chantal's 15th c. research here:

Period art shows a wide variety of necklines in the late 15th century, including scoop and square neck, with the v-neckline restricted to the overgowns, as far as I can tell. :)

Thank you so much for the link! I'm an aspiring costume designer and I collect period research like this. I can't believe the detail with which she examined some of those paintings. I would never have noticed some of those seams on my own! Thanks again!

I think you already know I love this!

Hee! Thank you! :)

No problem! Marie is an incredible researcher, and her work is truly invaluable to the costuming community. :)
