A thin, sutble brocade in dark jewel tones might be cool.

Something lighter weight and "glorious" would be great for the reverse of the front panels. It calls for a trip to Elliot Berman. I'm sure they'll have some incredible, and expensive, French or Italian fabric that would be perfect. Heck, I only need a yard, so why not? Go big, go velvet, or go home!Mainelydadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718855427399616514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-45922685715079574022013-06-04T06:43:01.403-04:002013-06-04T06:43:01.403-04:00It's pretty clear - you are making the "s...It's pretty clear - you are making the "shirt" to wear to the boat launching party! Champagne, and - hmm, will you have enough scrap for a matching skipper's hat? ;)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776605762260245516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-19590673040848544152013-06-03T16:33:38.846-04:002013-06-03T16:33:38.846-04:00It is gorgeous.

Infrastructure being the big difference really, although as you've said, it will still need some around the upper parts. Silk organza may be enough instead of horsehair? <br />I would add a 1/4 inch to each of the seams instead of a 1/2 inch to the side only. Easing it out to the chest and in again, it will simply add a teeny more curve to those two seams.<br />Not wishing to add even more "what if" to the dilemma, I still wonder if velvet is a good choice for 4 layers of front? Or are you planning to use a flatter fabric for the facings? Velvet on velvet edge seams are never a huge success as you can't press it enough to get a crisp edge. A flash of something glorious in that turn back could be, well, glorious!<br />As for where to wear it, who not to the supermarket, or shopping? Maybe not gardening or boat building but what the heck, set a trend! :)MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.com
