The gamurra was the basic Italian woman’s dress from 1490-1530. It can be used for all classes, depending on ornamentation and the garments layered over it.
The bodice of the gamurra has the option for a low or high neckline, and front or back lacing.
The front of the gamurra bodice is stiffened to give support and a smooth line. Instructions are given both for pad stitching by hand, and a similar effect using machine stitching.
The skirt is full, knife pleated, and is gored for more fullness at the hem. It has a faced slit below the bodice opening.
The sleeves are detachable two-piece sleeves, open at the elbow and back seams, with tie variations.
Sizes 2- 30 are included in every package.
The instruction manual includes historical notes, extensive fitting and sewing instructions, and design tips.
