THL Giovanna Theresa Battista di Firenze

Giovanna, who is also known in the mundane world as Elizabeth Pearson, is wearing one of the most smashing Florentine gowns that I have ever seen! You can another side-view picture of this dress on the Known World Costuming Symposium Site and I'm just amazed at how well she captured the look of late 15th century Florentine fashion--check out the portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni for an incredibly cool comparison! If you would like to contact Giovanna, you can email her at valkyr8(at)yahoo.com.
