Renaissance Dream

I was so inspired by the Art Museum that Dody took me to.  I always gravitate toward art that includes clothing.  I loved looking at the details in these works, depicting the clothing of the time.

I think that's why I dreamed about this dress design for my niece to wear.  My fashion illustration skills are sadly lacking, but you get the drift.  It would be mostly blue velvet, smocked at the top with an orange collar  and gold button details.
