Men's Clothing in 15th Century Italy

Here is Part 1 of my series on men's clothing in 15th century Northern Italy that has just been published in Your Wardrobe Unlock'd. Now back to finishing the next article... and sharing my progress on the making of all the garments.

Bronzino Eleonora of Toledo Dress Diary

I need to replace my old Florentine 1560s gown. It is too large, and when I tried to alter it a few years ago I discovered that I had run out of fabric and could not put the bodice back together. Fabric is available online now that makes me think I could make an attempt at Eleonora of Toledo's gown. Which one will my budget allow me to order? Do I watch my budget and order a print or do I throw caution out the window and order a woven silk?

I already have a version of this coverciere (related to the English partlet) - usually made of cords tied in a net-like fashion, and then beaded. I found a belly-dancers scarf that looks just the part.
