[h-cost] Elizabeth of Valois [was Your dream costume]

Dopes anyone know for sure, is the main fabric of this dress embroidered, or voided velvet or satin, or brocade, or what? Not the embroidered gardes, but the ground fabric. I LOVE that dress. It's just about the most truly royal gown I can think of. MaggiRos --- Kimiko Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have plans to make this dress and from what I can tell is that it is embroidery. It is not velvet though a short haired velvet wouldn't be bad for a rendition of the gown. http://www.marileecody.com/isabel.jpg http://ladysarafina.home.att.net/isabeldevalois.JPG bigger picture http://www.bildind
