Mom's Italian gown is done

The color is documentable. The mint green and gold combo is, in fact, very 1530's Italian. She wanted a front lacing gown so the cut is more akin to the Venetian of 1530's than the Florentine, but this style was seen in both cities. I need to make the sleeves for it but I doubt she'll wear them (Pennsic dress after all). So, one more gown to go for Mom!
