I thought she looked more Oktoberfest-ish, more like Hitomi's maid dress.A renaissance inspired design can still be original. This is simply not renaissance style. She looks more like a 19th century prostitute. Adding more lace won't make it more renaissance-ish.
This is a famous depiction of a renaissance courtesan by Hans Holbein, a German renaissance painter:

Here an even earlier one by Cranach:

Notice the distinctive sleeves, décolletage and hairdo?
Too Halloween-esque.
I can never come up with original, unless it's like, the avant-garde dress I made for Momiji (which is more graphic design element).
Maybe I should try more 18th-century prostitute. Renaissance isn't along my capabilities as of yet.
Or maybe I should go with like, pauper-ish.
