Thanks to the enlargement of the forepart section, I have pretty much the embroidery design for the bands running down the sides near the forepart. There are two types of stylized irises. The one that looks like a tulip when looking at the full portrait is a bearded iris design and the other looks to be Dutch, Siberian or unguicularis (Greek iris). It's probably the Dutch. Thank you Becky for inspiring me to do more research on this gown. I have some salmon coloured satin that I have set aside some time back for this gown with a cream instead of white for the sleeves and forepart. Now if only I get down to at least a size 18 which is probably going to happen by the time I am done with the embroidery part. :P
