So I am making a dress built on what I imagined when I read the description of Ylinestra's dress in Stalking Darkness by Lynn Flewelling
"The sorcereress' silk gown glittered with jewled beading and the bodice, fashionable in the extreme, ..."
Originally I imagined something deep bottle green, but it seems impossible to find silk in this color or dye in this color. So I am wondering. I can do black with deep green beads and embroidery (yes we are looking at hand embroidery by yours truly), possibly with a hint of silver. I could probably find a blue, but it does not have the same feel as deep green or black. The ideas I have is here. I have the patteren for the corset now, I just need to buy the other stuffs. What do people think?
