Hi Zuzana, Thankyou for the big favour, but i think it would be two much to ask. I only need one skirt height as i want to fake the underskirt and only have the front part in the real brokade. Rest of the dress is black. So it would be two much to ask you for such a little quantity. Also the underskirt is decorated with gold braid in the front, wich i think is a shame, but it was the fashion i guess. Therefore the pattern of the fabric dont has to be so authentic as possible. The whole buisiness in trying to recreate such a dress, has almost made me give up the whole buisiness. The lace i baught from England wich is a reproduktion of a reticella lace is ideal, but it is two big and clumsy, not at all as fine as the portrait. And besides this the research and looking for the right materials, is really time consuming, the museum cant pay me for all the research, i think i might give it up after all.
