Its raining again today, in buckets, but we are all safe and dry and I have saffron buns rising in the oven.
The brown silk got cut out last night, along with the interlining for it. Now I just need to determine the lining fabric and cut out the velvet and get sewing. My fingertip still hurts too much to work on the fur.
The new dress is based on this portrait
Pencz, Georg, Portrait of Ehepaares and Elisabeta Schwetzer, Pendants, Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - PreuĂischer Kulturbesitz, Gemäldegalerie

TH has it dated to 1543. I don't plan on doing the outrageous fur lined hat, my hat making skillz aren't quite up to that level, yet. Instead I plan on just a regular steuchlein, maybe with some new gold lace, that I got in Seattle, applied to it.
