The ties are quite usual in Edwardian blouses. They are sewn to the back of the blouse and come around to tie in front. They are often too short to tie in a bow rather than a knot, although possibly the original wearer had a smaller waistline than a modern wearer. It's hard to tell the waist si

I also like Danielle's fourth recommendation - if the fabric in the dress is the same as the yardage shown. If that's too iffy, I'd go with the African Green Shot, or the straight African Green. Glynnis > From: ruthan...@mindspring.com > Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:50:

This question made me curious because I've seen so many photos labeled PM when I thought they weren't. And of course I stare with same morbid curiosity as the next person (Thanatos?)! But standing poses - I don't know. It's practically impossible to hold an unconscious person upright - I know this

Yeah, I'd vote for this one. It looks the most like the drawing. Terry On 2015-01-15 16:42, Beteena Paradise wrote: > I always envisioned Pomona Green to be more like this color. But that is just > from my own mind's forming and not really grounded in any kind of fact or > anything. :)

[h-cost] Pomona green

I think it's difficult to find "Pomona green" because it probably was a color made with arsenic. I saw a picture of a gown in a museum and it was EXACTLY the shade of green I love! But it was dyed with arsenic. I would have died of arsenic poisoning, I'm sure, as I adore that color. Sharon C. _

I'd say of the three, the second is the best, and the most interesting, although none has quite the right undertone. I actually had some synthetic (sorry, a gift!) fabric awhile ago that came REALLY close to your illustration--I used it in combination with a cream-rose-and-green print and a lot

My understanding is that it's a yellowish green, making the color in the middle link most accurate. At least on my monitor. Exclusive_silks is the same business as pure_silks on eBay; you might want to look at their listings too. For myself, I don't worry about not being able to find a solid
