Side Quest in Creating Historical Clothing || 15th Century Italian Gamurra and Giornea

I love studying historical clothing to understand the cultural and societal reasoning to help me create clothing for my own fantasy worlds. I decided to embark up on an epic side quest to make mostly historically accurate clothing from 15th century Italy! Specifically I am making a gamurra or underdress and a giornea which is a tabard-like overdress. And if you are curious... the closest thing to a garment I have made is a Christmas apron... 00:00 Introduction 03:12 The Plan 07:32 Historical References 07:52 Starting the Gamurra 09:12 Skirt and Eyelets 14:34 Pleating 17:08 A Dress 17:26 First Try On 18:36 Update and Sleeves 21:45 Cutting Giornea Fabric 24:40 Giornea Update 29:03 I've Been Stuck 35:30 Sleeve Progress 37:23 Final Reveal Courtesy National Gallery of Art, Washington Ginevra de' Benci [obverse], c. 1474/1478 by Leonardo da Vinci (painter) Florentine, 1452 - 1519 Lucrezia Tornabuoni, c. 1475 by Domenico Ghirlandaio (painter) Florentine, 1449 - 1494 Claudia Quinta, c. 1490/1495 by Neroccio de' Landi (painter) Sienese, 1447 - 1500 Neroccio de' Landi (painter) Sienese, 1447 - 1500 Bianca Maria Sforza, probably 1493 by Ambrogio de Predis (artist) Milanese, c. 1455 - after 1508 Portrait of a Young Woman, c. 1508 by Girolamo di Benvenuto (artist) Sienese, 1470 - 1524 Lucrezia Sommaria, c. 1510 by Ridolfo Ghirlandaio (artist) Florentine, 1483 - 1561 Domenico Ghirlandaio, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons ------ LINKS ------ Website: https://www.madelinejameswrites.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_mjames/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/author_mjames
