I know it's easy to paint something that isn't there, but if you see something a certain number of times, then I think it is very plausible to think it really excisted. And the further back you go, the more you have to work from guesswork.Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-38215300308684935672011-09-23T12:07:54.691+02:002011-09-23T12:07:54.691+02:00What a lovely collection!

I especially love the lady in a red dress: there are too many muted silver gowns in 17th century art, even for a minimalist like me!<br /><br />I made my 17th c gown without side-front seams, based on all the paintings that show no seams. My dress does have a CF seam, but it would be easy to make it without it too. I know there aren't any extent mid-17th c gowns without side seams, but there are more paintings that show this than extent 17th c gowns, so I figure it is at least historically plausible!The Dreamstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897608732348842792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-13092664158940166152011-09-10T21:45:00.323+02:002011-09-10T21:45:00.323+02:00Madame Berg: Isn't it! :)

I have never seen any extant examples of that, though.Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-3429150623064558992011-09-04T18:21:12.987+02:002011-09-04T18:21:12.987+02:00What a treasure indeed!

I was thinking about how much work it took to make and wear these outfits and then there is the last image of the servant boy...of course. Now I can see the army of people it took to maintain these ladies and their wardrobes, their hair, their homes...it must have taken servants to maintain the servants! <br />Thanks so much for posting these.What-I-Foundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960612319902765855noreply@blogger.com
