Cynthia Isabella Kalina

I've run across a lot of great Venetian costumes lately, but this one definitely one of the most beautiful courtesan gowns that I have ever seen! The green and gold silk brocade that Cynthia picked out is just perfect for her coloring, and I really love the details on the sleeves that give just enough embellishment without competing with the fabric. And if you stop by her Live Journal you can read all about the making of this outfit and see some additional pictures of the matching cape and a sleeveless version of the gown. What a gorgeous outfit!
