progress and a great idea i got.
Do some of you remember the rich silk brokade, and i meen real silk brokade wich is the same as was used for a film about Catherine the Great with Zeta Jones?
I have 3 yards of it, and its wide, so i got this wonderfull idea to make a pannier skirt out of it. Then i am going to make a caraco jacket in a rich royal blue ribbed silk i have, i put the fabrics together today, and it looks great together.
This i want to make out of it! The Caraco is more like a fully boned corset covered with silk fabric, and it has a stomacher inserted in the front, but it is laced center back. The sleaves are tied on with bows and the sleaves has pleated winged cuffs.
Oh i am soo happy that i finally found out what to do with it.
Got my suits back from the cleaners, they are like new ones again, thanks to the wonderfull cleaner man, he is so clever with his job.
As for the work with my justeaucorps, i found out that its not possible to embellish the pocket flap with lace, the flap is two curvy for this, so ill just leave it plain. This meens that i have finnished all lace for the jacket. I am assembling the sleaves right now, the cuffs are lined with a grey silk, wich doesnt show.
