Florentine Upper Class - the shift, kirtle, and an overgown (camicia, gamurra, giornea).
Camicia - shift/chemise. Usually made in soft linen - breathes well and can be washed frequently. Cut was quite generous for the time. Neckline and sleeves gathered into narrow bands, cuffs close with hook and bar.
Gamorra - Waist creeping up. Could be plain in light wool, or in fancy silks. Bodices were usually lined with lined, skirt could be lined or unlined. Example here has light silk with square pattern. Sleeves are lined with plain silk, making them easier to slide on over the chemise. Sleeves usually fastened with points (helps to have help).
The chemise is pulled out through the openings in the sleeves, and between the selves and the bodice. Basically allowing for ventilation. Bodice is interlined with stiff buckram. Some breast-binding under the chemise. Bodice laces in front with one long tie, could also be done along the sides or back. Lacing is from the bottom up (for support). Lucetted cord stretches a little. Takes about a few minutes.
Shoes were leather, with gold braid decoration. Closed with a buckled strap.
Belts common but not obligatory, used to hang stuff from.
For formal occasions a gown is required. Voluminous, loose. Cinched. Light enough for the warm climate. Example here made out of silk/linen brocade, lined with lightweight silk.
Translucent veils often worn. Pins needed to keep in place. Ends of the veil often twisted.
