My green bliaut

My husband took photos of me in my new green silk bliaut this morning. I promised I wouldn't start working on the web site immediately, we have a lot of other things to do, but I've put up one picture
I'm very happy with the way it turned out. There are some things I need to fix before i wear it, like a better, more gliding lacing cord. I also need to sew hooks and eyes along the lower part of the neck opening. Now it is held closed by two brooches and it is'nt very practical. When I stop nursing I will sew the edges of the lower part of the opening together but for now I need a secure but easy to open fastening.

You made me "oooh" out loud - literally! That is FABULOUS!!!! :) :) :)

Did you hand-embroider the trim? It's delicious! :)

Oh no! I'm not that crazy (or maybe I am, but not right now, on this dress). It's store bought, with lurex and everything ;)

WOW! It looks fabulous - and not at all shiny and store bought. :) What a GREAT find! :)
