A Green Giornea

This garment is made much like the cioppa, but with open sides. It's very plain and made of 100% cotton so it breathes. It was very easy to make -- unpleated, it looks like a big poncho. It is undecorated. Over the giornea, the model is wearing a grey fleece cloak edged in black velvet, and under it, he has on a camicia (fluffy white shirt) and a farsetto (a doublet) which is made of beige polyester satin. His leggings are joined footie hose made of 100% cotton.
