Hi Deredere,
Sorry if i posted this 2 times, but i have had problems with my emails.
I would use a stranded cotton thread, DMC for instance wich is stranded into
6 strands.
Then you could try to use as many strands at a time until you get the right
"body" of your embroidery..............

Subject: [h-cost] Regency embroidery question
Hi,
I am planning on making a regency gown.
http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/god1/hob_1983.6.1,07.146.5.htm
And I have found the perfect cotton voile.
But know I am wondering what kind of embroidery thread I should use.
The discription says heavy white cotton thread.
It looks not very tightly spun.
Has anyone any idea what I could use?
I wish I had some close up pictures of this type of embroidery.
There is one in the Kyoto book but that embroidery is too heavy to my
taste.
Like the subtle smaller patterns better.
Greetings,
Deredere
