Italian Dress: Giornea

Here is my Giornea (the surcoat like thing) over my Italian gown, and you can get a better look at the lacing in the front. It's one piece, made from a piece of chenille heavy tapestry I got at JoAnns. You can see along the bottom the dagging I have that goes all the way up the sides on the back. I cut off my head cause I didn't like how my face looked in it... but it's no wonder, we did this photoshoot in July, and I nearly passed out from the heat in this thing
