Campi's the Fruit Seller question

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?

Ah, that sorta makes sense. I guess to show the bounty of the harvest in general or something. Thanks for looking up that info on the Unicorn Tapestries.

with this period of painting, alot of the variety has allegorical meaning of man's dominance over nature. This was a period of great inroads into controling horticulture and creating new varieties of the different plants and foodstuffs.

Isabella, I would pin this closed, far more period method of fastening for this class level.
