"When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow." — Veronica Franco, Venetian courtesan, mid-XVI century. A renaissance style dress, inspired by the images of Italian courtesans of late XV - mid-XVI century. We were trying to express their beauty, boldness, passion. The costume includes: - top-dress; - bottom dress; - detachable sleeves. Please take attention! Because of the original fabric is out of stock, the dress is made from another but very similar fabric!
