About my pink gown. It's in swedish, but if you can't read it you can look at some new pictures at least. Otherwise you can wait a week and I will hopefully have translated it all and put it on my webpage.
Oooh, good presentation! I like the good background descriptions, and I love the photos of the finished garb. It's such a gorgeous piece, and it fits you so well. And you look very pretty in those headgear photos.
You could add something about the trim of the bodice being quite typical for the second half of the 16.th century? I think it's a very distinctive feature, and as you write: though you only have a view of the backside of the dress, you can draw up the basic lines of the front pretty well just by knowing how the backside looks. Have you seen these?
Fantastic :) I love the photo of the setting of the collar ruffles especially :) Do you have any close up of the handwork in it? It looks really lovely.
Very pretty. I can't read Swedish, but the pictures are very descriptive. I pined for almost a year for similar blue/green shot silk taffeta. It was gone before I could buy it. I'm so jealous!
