So I was going through portraits again when I saw this one.

I saw this years ago when I did my 1530's Italian gown in red silk. But I can't for the life of me figure out what's with this gown! Is it a knitted overlay? Is it just a play with strapwork? Is it patterned damask with raised velvet? Can anyone help?

That's what I'm leaning to too. But with all the braiding and twisting...why oh why would they ruin a perfectly fine pink gown with slashing and waste all the black cording?
