It finally became a reality this summer with embroidery and fabric finally coming together for me. I started down the construction road over 3 years ago when I was able to obtain the coat printed fabric through a Spoonflower designer. I had a lot of help with the embroidery which really was very key to the completion. The dress fabric color actually eluded me as what I could find, was too red in the purple family to co-ordinate with the coat colors. I had tried to custom dye fabric but to no success. I also experimented with the embroidery and chose a lighter weight thread which allows the design to show up better.
A 2nd complete costume has headed to a dear friend who was so patient with me trying to make the best I could do. She now has it in her possession.
I can't say how thrilled I am to have this one completed! Deborah-Just Creations did the repaint for me.
I had the handmaiden, Dorme, completed for a long time just waiting for her mistress to be completed!
