frualeydisActually it was finished already on Saturday, and Rickard took the photos on Sunday, but I've been rather busy since then. I had the photos taken outside to get better light to actually see the gorgeousness of the shot taffeta.
At the bottom of the hem I have a facing of silk dupioni which is folded so it extends below the taffeta and wool layers and is slashed, just like on Eleonora di Toledo's petticoat, and that other contemporary preserved italian gown. It looks very cool, though you can't see it in this photo of course. Better pictures will come when I have the time to update the web site.
