Benedict Dress and Hat

Giulia Pecorari (costume designer) is helping me (well, mainly she is gonna do it for me ;-) with the Benedict Dress and Hat.

For this occasion, Benedict will dress his "abito da gran cerimonia" (dress for important ceremony).

At the moment is going to be the first time he is truly confessing his sins without a doubt this dress will be the most appropriate.

The dress & hat are going to be made with an exterior layer (sorry, not sure about the dressing/costume nomenclature) of a creamy 100% silk textile and an interior layer of a dark red textile (no idea the type) + golden ornamentation.
