Well, i know i said i had to waite with this till when i have finished the
yellow dress, but i could not resist my lust to try out the mulberry silk
threads i got.
This is going to be a dark grey gentlemans embroidered waistcoat of 1770ies.
It is vey hard to trace pattern to dark fabric, so i used my rice paper,
reversed the pattern and sticked it to the backside of the taffeta. Then i
used white sewingthread and small running stitches to outline the whole
pattern. This worked fine, but it took some time to do.
Here is one pattern repeat of the pattern. At the bottom of the page;
