I'm slow....

I just noticed that RUM is happening in conjunction with the Masque of Courtly Love. Now, I intend to finish one of the Dutch regional gowns for the day. But I suppose I needs something for the Masque, if we opt to stay.

So, what do y'all think I should make?

One of the van Hemessen gowns? (Either the one with the polka-dot cuffs or the brocade skirt and pink undersleeves.)

One of the later period outfits with the bodice and skirt as seen in some of the wedding or skating scenes?

A Cranach gown?

Something Italian/Venetian - since it is a Masque?

Some other German/Swiss/Dutch regional gown?

Something else entirely? Provide pictures!!

In one ear and out the other. ;-)

Though the masquers is an idea. Think I'll go with something opaque over the bust, though. Just sayin'.

You'd be more popular if you left the boobs with transparent fabric instead. That would increase attendance! *duck*

Oooo yes, here I was going to suggest venetian and I totally forgot about Inigo Jones! Make an actual masquerade gown! :)

I personally have wanted to make the lady masquer (second row, second in from the left) for a while now... all the women's outfits are awesome!
