Campi's the Fruit Seller question

[isabelladangelo]

I know a lot of you on my F-list have looked at this dress before. I just managed to get my hands on a linen that is the exact same color so, I figured I might try to make this dress as well as the other Campi one.

While looking at the dress closely, upon the Web Gallery of Art, I noticed that the dress looks like the right opening flaps slightly over the left. I'm guessing hooks and eyes closure? Any other ideas?

I've been playing with the idea of doing a mixture -having a inner laced front and the outer part of the dress pinned closed- but I'm not sure. I want to keep the dress looking as close to the painting as possible so I'm guessing that would mean a pinned front. I need to get a bigger photo of the dress to find out!
