Actual Garb research

I LOVE this gown. I know that it looks completely allegorical except for a couple of things: None of the other objects look allegorical and then I found these as well:

Notice the sleeve of St. Catherine's dress and the neckline. I realize it's hard to see but the sleeve is a rounded tab type like the pretty gown of Salome. And just to further the point...

The dress has the same basic elements of Salome's.

I'm starting to wonder how allegorical this one is. I still want it as a Masque gown either way.

I think that some of those might be doublets over kirtles.

I got some questions about the "Odd Gowns" page ...

The green and white particolored gown -- do you know who the artist is? That's just cool.

above the block with the Solari paintings ... you have 2 paintings from an Austrian site. Unfortunately they're small *pout* wants bigger images ... anyway, do you know anything about those two paintings? Artist? Source? anything? That would be these two

That first one reminds me of an SCA event -- looks like you've got a parti-colored cotehardie and a late-period spanish right in the front row of the dance! How cool is that?

And the last painting ... do you know anything about it?

just call me tha painting whore .....

For the green and white, the artist is Jacob d'Utrecht, I think. They give two Jacobs (Jacob Claesz being the other one) on the site where I found it but it is early 16th c.

As for the Austrian site, they change their layout so much that I have no clue how I originally got those. I want to say it's from their altar page,

but even if it isn't, you'll find a ton of other neat gowns. I just added another one; faux red hair in the headdress with NO chemise sleeves and black lacing at the sleeves! She's showin' skin!
