Forgive me for being dense, but I know I've seen that portrait before. I
just can't for the life of me remember who it is. Could someone ID it for
me? And does anyone have a link to a larger version of the portrait?
As for the yardage of trim required, my rule is to guestimate generously
and then increase by 50%. I always end up using/needing more than I figured
on to begin with.

Hi, I'm feeling lazy, don't feel like getting out the tape measure, its
12:12am here in Australia - maybe one of you on the list has this info
in your head - please don't go to any lengths - otherwise I should be
the one doing the work <grin> - but approx. how much length of trim do
you think I should get for a reproduction of this dress at
http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/Images/colourpics/8486.jpg ? And do
you think the same trim is used throughout the whole dress, or maybe
the tabs at the waist and shoulders are simply edged with gold? And
where on earth would one find the jewellery? (or the money to get it
:((! ) I've already purchased the cotton velvet and am presently making
the undergarments.
Regards, Aylwen Garden
