I would love to embroider it by hand but knowing myself I would never
finish it :-( .
So I have a few options.
Totally embroider it by machine.....
Or appliques of wool or silk and gold cord stichet on by machine.
(I know it is not period but probably the only way for me to make a
beautiful dress within reasonable time. And having fun making it.
although I am not happy having it to do it this way)
Silk velvet would be very nice.
The cheapest I found is around 60 euro for a meter.... and it is white...
1 Meter would hopefully be more than enough.
(I could use some scraps for an other project..)
I have white silk that I would like to dye for the lining.
The lining looks more pink than the red on the dress.
I can easily get that pinkish red from the lining with madder but I
never got a real red from it..
Should I use some sort of backing for the embroidery?
Greetings,
Deredere

Hi,
Several years ago I found a picture on the internet that I really liked.

And several years ago I bought a very nice blue silk.
I was wondering if red wool felt and gold cord would work for the
embroidery.
