Italian Renaissance Costume Challenge Update

I have been working on a partlet for the IRCC. As its only the second partlet I have done, its largely trial and error. I have used a lovely soft linnen, added a machine embroidered blackwork collar and will add a small ruffle edged in lace to the top edge. Most of it is being done by hand, with all of the seams turned under and stitched down. I still need to decide which lace I want to use for the edge....
