SCA page of La Signora Onorata Katerina da Brescia with lots of
information on Florence in our time period. This page linked has
many portraits of Floresian women.
For anyone interested in Floresian Costuming in the 1500-1560's
date range, this a is a great site to have in your bookmarks or
favorites! |

If Calafia takes it for the coolest
Barony, the Darchshire brings it home for the most happenin' Shire
in the known world! It's home to some incredible and talented
individuals- including the woman who originally got me hooked on
Renaissance costuming: THLady Cáelfind ben Uí Chonfraích |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1500-1550_in_fashion Yes, It's a
wiki link. Quit whining. Let me dispel some myths for you:
1) It is entirely possible that some of the people who write for
the wiki system might actually know what they are talking about.
Just because your information doesn't match theirs doesn't
necessarily mean they are wrong. When was the last time you
published a bibliography with what you posted online?
2) It is possible the information is wrong, but the portraits are
generally labled correctly, and their are a lot of portraits
available here of various time periods...
So there. |
