As I was hanging up my newly dyed fabrics for Gambeson 2.0 project, I was wondering if I should make it another dress diary. I did one for the last gambeson-and-chain-and-overcoat project, so I can imagine if you'd be more interested in a different type of garment, but I believe this can still be interesting.

The dress diary would cover everything from fabric cutting, quilting the pattern pieces, assembly (some by hand), and of course the new overcoat. It will glance over the pattern (I've already created both patterns) but could still be interesting to follow. So...

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...

This has been on my mind for a while, and with last night's post with the newsletter with pictures, it jumped to the foreground again.

I really value everyone's opinion on this, so please vote, whether you live in the Netherlands or not.
