opinion time!
Jul. 9th, 2016 01:52 pmI have decided how to trim my 1830s ballgown - around 1832 you see a horizontal band of trim/etc on the skirt at about knee height:


Since I am most emphatically Not Allowed to buy trim for this, I poked the stash a bit, and came up with the leftover lace from my 1860s satin ballgown. Sure, that works. The question is, I want to sew some scattered spangles on the lace (because it MUST HAVE SPARKLE. NO SPARKLE IS NOT AN OPTION), and should they be gold or silver?
(With and without flash)
