Blue and Purple Persian

Blue and Pur­ple Persian

This Per­sian style is typ­i­cal through­out sev­eral cen­turies, though I’ve based my design largely on images from around the 15th cen­tury. The outer pur­ple layer is made of blue bro­cade, the next layer is pur­ple linen, and the under­dress is white linen. The pants are hand-dyed raw silk with but­tons at the cuffs. The sash is also silk. The hat is made of wool and bro­cade.
