Used materials
|
- For gown I used dark blue silk velvet;
- dark blue pongé for lining of the sleeves.
- The trims, the sash and the insert at neck are made from a bright red habotai. The trims were embroidered with fine golden bullion (satin stitch), then I beaded them with a small golden sequins (handmade from a bigger sequins, using method "the hammer & the puncher") smallest clear, purple and black beads.
- The circlet is made from a stripe of soft metallic plate of golden colour - I found it as the bottom of a small can with cat's food (I think it was "Sheba", but I am not sure...:-)).
