Yowza! I love that picture of Barbara, Duchess of Ferrara.

And that is the same color as my velvet. I wonder if I could find some gold silk satin to do guards? It wouldn't be the same as the embroidery, but I do not have the patience or skills for that much embroidery. Applique, maybe? Branching vines? Hmmm. Speculative noises.

And as a side note, this is interesting:

That is super interesting! Especially the bits about all the female acting sheriffs in Denmark. If you scroll down to Ermegaard Andersdatter Bille, it looks like she's wearing a morion with her hair down and/or a veil. Interesting!
