1525 German Court Gown
-
after the works of Lucas Cranach
Designed for the Bal d'Argent 2003, being the annual ball of
the Guild of the Silver
Rondel, the colours come from the theme of blue and red on
a white ground. German seemed to be the best way to show these
colours off to their advantage, with the red only seen in flashes
of the underskirt (the blue stripes are horizontal and cover the
lower half of the skirt only). The gown is based wholly on the
paintings of Lucas Cranach, and is complete with glorious iridescent
and pearled coif, choker and "Tellerbarrett" hat.

A note about ordering
Couture Garments
The outfits on these pages are examples of those made for past
clients as well as for the makers at Cote & Cutler themselves.
We are happy to quote for simlar outfits in your own choice of
colours, in whole, or in part, or to show you other designs from
our extensive library.
Please don't be afraid to ask for a component of an outfit you
like if you already have or want to make your own underpinnings
or other items! It can often save you money, and while we like to
receive your money, we also understand the restrictions of budget
:)
