I would go to wga.hu which is the web gallery of art and artist search Mannerism, Italian, 1550-1600, painter.

If any documentation in portraiture is to be found, it's there.

Usual caveats apply... many of these seem to be religious (Salome and St. Catherine) or of Turkish women (sort of), and so may or may not represent actual dress of the time. On the other hand, Turkey did influence Western culture and fashions.

Go to the Realm of Venus online and check out the recreation of the green coat done there; I believe the lady who did that is the one who runs that site, and she will answer your questions.

The Venetians were avid traders with the Ottomans when other cities in Italy were at war with the Ottomans; the silk trade pretty much ran through Venice. Ottoman robes were probably part of the imports; jeweled silk robes were sometimes given as gifts by the royal court as well. Such robes were thought to be worn by Venetian ladies inside the home and in private. The cut and style may have influenced the outer robes that were often worn over a gown, but were sleeveless (the portrait of Catherine Cornaro is one such of these; the detail of the sleeve the writer points to is the gown, not the overrobe).

There is a splendid book, big coffee table book, called "Venice and the Islamic World" but out by The Metropolitan Museum. It's probably at any local library. There are a lot of gorgeous color plates and a few with pictures of clothing influenced by the Turkish styles. but even more interesting are places and a whole chapter talking about Turkish and Venetian velvet and the influence one upon the other. This is an important work. There are also chapters on leather and laquer bound bookmaking, ceramics, textiles. A great resource all around
