Last Sunday I had the very big pleasure to visit the wonderful garden of "Schloss Schwetzingen" - somewhere near Mannheim (Don't ask me ever about German geography - I am absolutely helpless at that).
It was a very merry party, and I enjoyed it very much.
I absolutely adored Cécilias wonderful robe à la Polonaise! She's always one of the best dressed woman in historic clothing, but I was really stunned when she entered the train that day.
My dress is, compared with the rest of the party 20 years ahead... I felt slightly science-fiction.
It is a new dress, but the cut is quite similar to the ballgown I sew for Zeilitzheim earlier this year.
The differences are: short sleeves, and overall slimmer skirt (only 3m). But as the fabric was an absolutely sheer swiss, so I had to work with 2 layers all over.
It has a bit more fabric to create a rounder "round gown look" in the front, and just a small train.
I think, worn with a small pad, it would be close to the achieved Heideloff look.
Well - but here some pictures.
More can be seen on Michaelas Site (Michaela is the lovely lady in blue)

Some 15th century pics
The first two were taken by my dear Friend Lachfindel during the medieval fair in Horb. And yep - a new dress .
Fingerloopbraiding, Lachfindel needed something to attach her hat to her cap:
