This
gown was one of those quick and dirty gowns put together in a month, with is
very rare. The metallic embroidered trim
is amazingly an" iron on" trim. It worked well for this gown because a ribbon
trim would not have been able to follow the shapes necessary without a lot
of seams
and easing.
The bodice is based on the shape and decoration of a bodice featured in Janet
Arnold's "Patterns of Fashion". It was the gown that
Elinora
of Toledo was
buried in.
