A preliminary view of the 15th century kirtle

Or whatever you call it; the burgundy silk dress I'm wearing under what was my wedding dress. I have shortened the shoulder straps tonight, to make the bodice a little higher and I am going to wear a more low-cut smock and make sleeves from the same silk. But I think it looks very pretty even now.

Italian?

Yep, though not especially accurate I think - it's more a way to be able to use my wedding dress in the SCA.
