A costume Meme from abroad

[femkes_follies]

Since there are so many costumers on my friends' list, I thought this one would be fun. Arienne's suggestion that I REALLY need to get my Dutch gown done, as the silhouette would suit me, also plays in.

Here 'tis:

Costumers all tend to have a specific era or genre that appeals to us aesthetically, which is fine, but sometimes we get too focused and fail to appreciate other eras or genres that might suit our body type, our facial features, or even just challenge us to think outside the box a little bit. So, I'm opening the floor for suggestions: Give me one costume you'd want me to wear, and why. Picture links appreciated. :)

And then spread this meme like SARS and I'll try to do the same for you!

Burgundian!

I really think it looks good on anyone really. Plus, truncated henins are COOL.

Okay, this is just what I picture you in. I don't know why. I just do. Maybe it's your face, or the fact that I think you can pull off the neckline. Maybe you already wear this stuff, and I just have no idea.

The following link, search for "Cranach, Lucas the Elder."
Specific pieces are:

1. A Princess of Saxony, 1517 (This one I think is most appropriate--ignore the age of the subject. Maybe I just want to see you in red?)
2. Portrait of a Woman, 1526
3. Portrait of a Woman, 1530
4. Katharina von Mecklenburg, 1514
5. Saxon Princesses, 1535
