ES - Italian Renn Gown for sale on E-Bay

[Christine Huse]

With time getting so close to Springfaire, I thought that this might be of 
interest to someone who needs an Italian Renn gown quick!

I have really taken a good look at the pics of the gown and to me it looks 
as period as one can make (though I admit I'm not expert in the Italian 
Renn. period). But she does list her documentation above the pics.

What I really like (I'm gonna do this with my *hopefully* wedding gown) is 
that she used brass rings from the upholstry section of the fabric store. 
There has been some talk on the garb lists that this is in fact a period way 
of lacing. I like the fact that they aren't as ugly as grommets and they 
won't tear the fabric.
