31. Gamurra

A Gammura, (or sometimes a Camora or Camorra) was an Italian (particularly Florence) style of women's dress popular in the 15th and early 16th centuries. It consisted of a fitted bodice and full skirt worn over a Camicia (a type of chemise). Early styles were front-laced, but the fashion later shifted to side-laced styles.

A gamurra (pl. gamurre) is a basic 15c italian underdress, usually worn with a cioppa or gionera overdress in public. It has a fitted bodice laced in front or on the sides with a gathered or pleated attached skirt.
