This a leaf from the Cocharelli treaties of Vices, an illumination from 1330-1340 Genoa, which has brought me inspiration at least since 2018. It is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
In fact, I have written more than a couple of blog posts about it, you find them through the tag cocharelli project. I have also made two outfits inspired by the image, and I want to make them all.
In that post, from 2022, I stated that the white outfit was next on my list. Unless I found the perfect brocades.
Well, I haven't found it, and I haven't solved the problem of the bleeding gold trim (and I might have used up the cotton muslin that I had in mind when I wrote that). So I am going a little sideways, by making a dress more inspired, than a reproduction. It is also from a thin wool, whch suits the Swedish climate well.
But the stripes are obnoxious enough.
I will, of course, start with the cotte, which won't have the seam over the bust.
