I spent much of last night combing the Googleweb for insight into how to build a gamurra and a gironea (your documentation was high on the list,
salviati!) and I think I just might be able to knock a couple of these out before Pennsic. I can adjust my fitted kirtle "pattern" into a fitted gamurra bodice, adjust the sleeve pattern a bit, and play with attaching a gathered skirt into a bodice. The linen I'll use will be extremely downscale for my persona, but I'd rather be comfortable than gorgeous. :) And I'll look the part of an Italian person. Whoo hoo! I am so excited about making a new-to-me style of clothing.
In semi-related news, I've resubmitted a name change with the Golden Dolphin Herald. In seven months or so I'll (hopefully) officially be Signora Pippa Morosini; in the meantime, people are getting used to calling me Pippa instead of Millicent. I like it. :)

well, lets just say I made a new one :D
The Gironea is easy and great in warm weather. I have two and the fabric for a third. One of mine is actually reversable (I know, reversable historical clothing.... but it wasn't really pre-planned that way, my mum bought 8 metres for a dress thinking thats how much she needed and then 3 for a gironea, but she needed something to line the gironea with, and I wanted t use the left over fabric from her dress for a gironea and needed something to line it with..... so we joined our ideas :D )
Will you post some pics once you are done?

And yes, I promise to take pictures. :) No guarantee that there will be step-by-step photos, though. I'm terrible at photojournalling projects.

And pictures of the finished dress is good enough for me :D
