The handwork was made by Andy di Francesco, a local artisan who is working very efficiently. Execution is her responsability, the bold decisions are mine. She should be not to be blamed for them.

The base tunic closely follows extant patterns and in itself is work of another artisan: Evangelina Ledesma. Andy made the embroidery in red , Green and yellow wool.
Tunic is linen,
