This is based on one artbook image. Since the dress is mainly Elizabethan, I
went with mostly Elizabethan constduction methods. Since I was planning on
researching this period anyway, I used the resources I'd begun to compile. Since
Esther does not wear a chemise, the undergarments worn with this dress are not a
complete set, but only an Elizabethan farthingale, bum roll, and corset. The
gown is covered in beads and gold trim, which had to be sewn on by hand. The
stripes had to be attached individually. I used mainly velvet, satin, and linen
to construct all the pieces, as would be used in period. The sleeves are not
Elizabethan, so I made them detachable.
