it really is a lovely, soft velvet to work with, not a stiff as many cotton velvets and with a short nap, which is more period. My frist gown from it is a German/Scandinavian dress that is to be worn with a damask apron and a short waistcoat/long partlet from velvet. I plan to take photos of the whole outfit when I go to a 16th century manor house on Saturday.

You can read a lot more about the dress in my costuming blog, here, here and here. More photos too.
