Basic Italian Rennaissance

This outfit is a combination of different costume pieces. The red overgown comes from my red brocade outfit, the gold chemise from the black italian renaissance gown. The black cotton velvet bodice and sleeves were originally intended to be the sole components to this outfit, but I couldn't resist adding the red brocade overgown and metalic wool belt to it.

The basic Italian outfit. The bodice laces up the back-sides like the black Italian gown. There is no embroidery or embellishment. This outfit is great to wear on a hot summer day.
