Teh main fabric is some of those 34 metres of red cotton velvet that I bought a couple of eyars ago and the sleeves are made from a chenille brocade table cloth/wall hanging/whatever that I bought in Nicosia when we went to Cyprus in 2014.

The headwear is based on this 1475-1485 marble bust. I love sculptures - you get to see thingsfrom behind and above. I added a veil which is common in portraits and which I thought fitting for a married woman of a certain age ;)

Absolutely breathtaking! I think I have even better photos of that bust - including one from beneath the head looking up to where the hat is laced together if you would like them. :-)
