My daughter has now decided on a Chinese personna, ca 1575. We don't have to be particularly authentic, just recognizably Chinese. She's supposed to be the widow of a Chinese trader in spices, silks & opium visiting the Spanish court.
I bought Folkwear's cheongsam dress and Chinese coat patterns. Now I'm looking for some embroidery and/or applique details. An image search turned up some gorgeous coats/gowns from museums. I'm trying to find sketches or schematics of decorative facings and embroidery that are usable to someone who doesn't draw. I've been begging hubby to draw some of the details off the museum photos for me but nothing so far. Any leads? Thanks in advance.
