Dear Alegreza,

I appreciate the field promotion, but I am an Excellency. "Graces" are
reserved for the Dukes & Duchesses of this fair land.

One of my other titles is "Apprentice" and I am ensla - er - associated with
a most talented and gracious Laurel (the highest award for those who
practice the Arts & Sciences of the SCA). She would hold my toes over a hot
fire if I did not offer my services to those in need. :)
As for the gown, I am not certain how it would close, since it seems to not
be closed in the painting. It look heavily boned, and stiffened. If I had
to hazard a guess though, I would suggest that it closes with hidden hooks
and eyes.

My approval is not needed, but your own enjoyment. I would be happy to help
you if I can.
> Yours graciously,
And graciously yours ;)
