How to put on the gamurra/camora/cotta, the middle layer of being properly dressed in the 15th century, specifically the Florentine variety! This video shows how to lace the gown and sleeves up and provides details on construction, materials and techniques, along with the culture and history surrounding this gown.

So pleased you are finding the video helpful! Have you seen the full-length video of which this forms part? Also, I have hundreds of hours of me in various combinations of Florentine attire from this era, including dance videos, etc. Have you seen any of those? 🙂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndJ8asqqnKm1pok.html

This is a long shot, but do you know if at any point you could make a video on specific sewing techniques of the italian renaissance? (also, was velvet a thing?) I want to sew a dress very similar to this one (and an overdress) and while I've made one in the past, and a few pieces for other periods, I'm still very inexperienced in this area of history. I will also like and subscribe and see if you have any other relevant videos!! This was very interesting and informative!

@thecreativecontessa 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your support and compliments! And not a long shot at all - in fact, I was planning to do a video along these lines at some point soonish. The sort of conten that will make my modest pool of Patreon patrons happy. :-) Velvet was absolutely a fabric choice for the cioppe and giornee, and their is evidence for figures velvets being used for gamurra sleeves and bodies (although the Florentine records feature mostly wool and non-three-dimensional silks for the gamurre). Did you discover that this is part of a longer video on all the layers? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndJ8asqqnKm1pok.html

@@thecreativecontessa I've always wondered but never looked into how people would avoid getting dirty on the outside - especially the wealthy and the fashionable 🤔 I've only recently found out that there were ornate skirt holders during the 19th century and I assume bottoms of the skirts/petticoats meant for the outside were made with that thought in mind, but I've never seen shoes :D
