Making An Italian Renaissance Gown, Part III: Fashion Police, Sewing Tips and Sizing Issues!

My two-week Italian Renaissance gown (gamurra) project has become a six month project; I apply my latest research and learnings, based on extant clothing, portraiture, and documentary evidence such as wills and inventories, not to mention 23 years of experience making this type of clothing.
