I don't know if it helps, but I found this website: http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.de/2010/10/cranachs-saxon-nobility.html<br />There it is said that the picture comes from a book which displays German nobility - and might be painted by Lucas Cranach himself.G-Cishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257392129095887438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-81201980751491246672015-04-13T06:56:21.717+02:002015-04-13T06:56:21.717+02:00Depending on where your bodice is from, a 'bin...Depending on where your bodice is from, a 'bindmössa' or a simple kerchief (like this: http://amostpeculiarmademoiselle.blogspot.se/2015/02/19th-century-swedish-commoners-kerchief.html )would be the thing.

I love those gowns - that fashion is one of few I would pick if ever I was to go beyond my usual low status. How nice to see the paintings in person! <br /><br />MindLess: Studying (and sewing) period clothing and fashions is my #1 hobby, so it was fun. But yeah, of course it takes time.

The Renaissance dresses are amazing, especially the German Cranach gowns...some of his paintings are in Weimar and there's also the Cranach House where he spent the last year of his life.<br /><br />SabineKleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-32989291551440385372015-03-16T07:06:51.722+01:002015-03-16T07:06:51.722+01:00Thanks!

Though I have a general idea about this fashion, I still had to do some research so as not to make any huge mistakes. <br /><br />I'd love to see this made up as a costume, but I don't see myself doing it at this time - if I (or a younger someone close to me) had black hair it'd be more likely. I very much hope to make outfits of some of the other ones I have planned - provincial Belle for example. But then, that have always been my favourite outfit, as well as my favourite film and princess.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095151411363232281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-24195432110261985552015-03-16T00:15:48.686+01:002015-03-16T00:15:48.686+01:00Gorgeous!

I love Cranach and I definitely see the Snow White, and all your inspirations, in this one! <br /><br />I missed out on all the Disney movies as a kid. I've never seen Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty, and I think I've only seen parts of Cinderella, and this must be why the Disney Princess obsession has entirely passed me by. I do love your historical take on it. Any chance it would be made into a costume? I know it's not your usual style: rather sparkly and showy compared to the subtle elegance of your normal historical look.The Dreamstresshttp://thedreamstress.comnoreply@blogger.com
