Hi Bjarne,
Your silk must be lighter than I imagined, as a pale pearl gray - as I think of
it anyway - isn't a very dark gray. I am sure your suit will turn out lovely
and I look forward to seeing pictures of the finished results.
900 colors of embroidery silk! You are sure to find a perfect match.

Dear Anette,
This is what i had in mind, would be lovely on a grey silk.
But it was not used with a darker toned waistcoat, so ill have to stick on
the off white.
But that can also be nice.
Would you magine, i searched for a twisted high glossy silk and found
Mulberry Silks in England. I mailed the lady today because i want to order
some things from her.
She says they have 900 collours to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!
That doesnt help much hah!
Bjarne
