Trying to rustle up some documentation

[liadethornegge]

So I have fabric enough to make myself a warm, cozy ropa and now all I need to do is gather the evidence and decide on the final look.

To this end, I have been surfing for documentation, pictures and inspiration.

• Commercial site, second from last image.
• The Renaissance Tailor, Burguen MS #181
• Seamstrix, row 6, images 1 & 2
• Elizabethan Loose gown and Kirtle, images and construction details
• Castle Garden Creations, looks curiously like the Arnold Ropa
• Saya Española (glittersweet.com) Spanish court dress
• A Milanese Tailors Handbook (Elizabethan costuming page), plates 97r,98r, 99r, 100r, pattern 100v.
• Five Rivers chapmanry, Spanish ropa pattern
• Portrait of Catherine of Austria
• Mary of Austria, family portrait from Die Habsburger site
  

Besides this I also have Patterns of Fashion of course.

Possibly, to be continued later.
