Hi Genie,
The regency dress was made of cotton voillé and embroidered with DMC cotton
threads, no beads was used.
It was tambour embroidered. The original dress, you can see here:

I was out at the museum several times to study, the original dress was made
from cotton and the embroidery was silk.
I tryed hard to tambour with my silk floss threads, but the thread snagged
all the time, so i had to make it in cotton.

Bjarn, I can't tell, did you use any beads?
Is the fabric cotton or linen?
Beautiful, as always.
