Difficult decisions

[janestarz]

Yesterday's difficult decisions have been made. Today's will be a different matter altogether.



[Poll #1475234]

I dyed the cotton laces with Dylon 'Paris pink' in the hopes to attain the same shade of pink as the dupioni. Perhaps I should have dyed more than just the laces with the entire tin of dye. It will probably match a different project now.

My camicia will be white. The dress will be a deep purple. My partlet and sleeves will be black. My bodys are the soft pink dupioni silk you see here, bound with a satin in the same colour. Which colour laces should I choose?

ETA: You may, of course, comment (anonymously, if you want) to tell me why...

I like the dark pink to be honest, as you are having darker colours in the rest of the outfit. White can look bland if you are not careful. The pink looks more deliberate, done by design, where as the white or natural can look like you've just used those laces you've got.

I hope that makes sense.

I totally agree with absintheskiss.

Although the best way to judge the colors would be if we could see the whole picture. Sometimes a color matches the thing it is on, but doesn't match the rest of the outfit.

I'm a sucker for pink with soft natural colours. The hot pink is good for a "bang!" impression, but soft natural suits a romantic atmosphere. It really depends on what you want.

With the black and the purple, hot pink may be a better choice, though.

I vote pink because the colour pops and like absintheskiss said, it looks more deliberate. Natural is nice too but only if you want to reduce attention to the lacing and focus on a detail somewhere else on the dress.

I agree with all of the above... And voted pink
