It had to be done. It just had to.

Against colleency's better judgment and at considerable risk to my sanity, I had to take the strapwork off the kirtle and add the new trim. I am weak and just couldn't take knowing it was there, even if no one would see it but me. LOL!

So, clicky for webpage=webpage has piccie. :-) I guess I need a new icon now, too eh? Damn, I'll never get lighting that good again...

I like it with the matching trim =) Mmm and it would look stunning with a black velvet loose gown over it,

New icon? Hmm.. well, only if it comes out as good or better than this one. Because this one? Very, very nice.

*ogles it a bit*

The kirtle looks nice too :)

[jillwheezul.livejournal.com]

I keep the icon. That way you can always remember how nice the strapwork looked!

The new trim looks stunning. If I was a betting woman, I would have put money on the "oh, yes, she'll do it" ticket. You are a true costumer :)

I like it better now. I think the strapwork was a nice concept, but just not for this dress. The silver trim looks so much prettier and more historically accurate. ;)

Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!

And you seem to have retained your sanity. ;P Who knows, you may have gone insane knowing it wasn't the way you wanted it.

It looks lovely! I'm glad you changed it. (It would have bugged me, too, if I had been in your shoes!)

[mc-cadieux.livejournal.com]

Yes! Yes!

I love it!!! It looks wondeful. I like it much better than the old one :)

[myladyswardrobe.livejournal.com]

That is GORGEOUS!!! Can't say if it was better than the last because I don't remember what it was like before. This is really lovely!!

And is now getting me inspired again. Despite it being 10.12 pm, I'm off upstairs to work on Baya's side laced bodice!!

mmmmmmmmmmmm, black velvet.

I am trying to make all the pieces of this outfit fairly independant, so I can wear this on it's own with the undersleeves, and then the over dress will be able to go over otherthings, etc.

That's really what that odd piece bugged me so much because it would really keep me from havingthis as an independant piece.

Why madam, I believe you're getting fresh with me! *blink* *blink*

Yeah, I like this one, too. :-)

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

You mean I have the proper neurosies? yup.

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was so excited about how it came out that I made the DH put down his guitar and come look at it. LOL

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh, only because it went so well. It was just as much of a chance that I would attempt the re-trim and ruin something and THEN you would have seen some ka-RAZY!

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

It's a sickness we share. Hay, maybe I caught it from YOU!

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I do too. :-)

[love3angle.livejournal.com]

LOL! Go get 'em, girl! That is gonna be a very nice outfit for her. I hope she appreciates it!

[pinkdiamond.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, much better, and yes I agree a black velvet surcoat would look supah sexeh over this;)

[liadethornegge.livejournal.com]

Fresh? Me? Nooooooo-well alright, maybe a little :)

But it is a pretty good icon and it'd be a shame to replace it.
