I have been prevaricating about this gown for ages, asking all sorts of advice, and doing test stitch outs on various bits of fabric (including a tunic for me). But I have decided that its about time to bite the bullet, and just get it done.
The gown was made many years ago, from a vintage pattern I have had for years. I had found the fabric (a lovely thick gold satin) at an op shop, and decided to accessorise with lilac. While the gown was lovely, it was a bit plain, and needed jazzing up.

Hubby and DD both felt that one design on the hem would be better than trying to mirror.
and a closeup, it remains to be seen, how it goes once I wash away the stabiliser.
