It is lovely, indeed!? I have sewn the sideseams so I can continue the ribbon
effect that extends to the train.? Maud is still traveling (held over at the
Bradford house gallery) so I will wait until she returns to do a first
fitting.? I have some lovely crimson silk velvet for the Robe and even a
handful of ermine tails for effect (the remainder will be a dense antique
plush.)? Found some great crowns to be appliqued to the back.? I know they were
embroidered on the original, but I am not up to doing 50 or more motiffs. I
finally got a good view of the coronation crown and that will be crafted also.
