Yes, today hubby and I went down to the basement of our block of flats to take some photos. I had intended to take them outside, but then the snow came yesterday.
I have written about this outfit as I was workign on it, but it is another one inspired by a single leaf from a Genoese c. 1330 manuscript, the so-called Cocharelli Treatise on Vices. I have this project, to make all the gowns shown in the illumination. However, while looking for the perfect brocades, I did this little side project of a wool gown inspired by the manuscript.
Lots of documentation (mostly links to blog posts), and more photos on its page.
