Hi,
Yes i know exactly what you have in mind, have ben thinking about adding a
fine mesh tulle into the taffeta and make an embroidered border of a ribbon
between the ribbed and the taffeta. I am making embroidery drafts in the
evenings. Also got a box full of hand twisted Mulberry silk threads, wich i
want to use for the embroidery, together sith flosses from Eterna and
Scallamandre. And and and, also tiny tiny silver spangels from Hedgehog.
But i force myself to work on the chenille dress, and i have made quite a
progress, finished all the embroidery and are sewing on the bullion
trimmings. I wont start the embroidery of this jacket untill i have
finnished thisdress. Ill post some pictures of the yellow dress soon.
Bjarne

Lov-er-ly!
I was just thinking....it's important, I think, to make sure somehow that
the appliqued embroidery looks, without a doubt, that it was MEANT to be
appliqued.
Y'know what I mean?
I'm not sure how this can be achieved, but somehow the applique process
must
be part of the embroidery process too. Maybe some element, leaves or fruit
or something, can be the quilted taffeta. Or appliqued lace is also
incorporated. [I don't mean to design things for you, I'm just thinking
out loud]
In "Fashion in Detail" somewhere is some embroidery on a waistcoat that
is
made up of multiple techniques....an appliqued lace with embroidery over
it
and sequins or something like that.
Am I making sense? I just don't want someone to look at your suit and
think
"Oh he took the embroidery off a bed hanging and applied it to the coat."
It
must look like it was meant to be appliqued from the start.
Then of course you have to do it to the waistcoat. :-P
