 Yesterday I bought a TON of velvet ribbon to trim the cinnamon wool bodice with :) However I have since realized that my curvy design cannot be done with velvet ribbon.

I can't decide between the almost diamond shaped trim (on the seated girl in the 1st photo) or the trim in the second picture.

oh, i do like the uniqueness of the first! and i agree with thinking captain rivers would appreciate it ;-) 'm planning to do a "false vest" style like on the right for my new silk dress. which hopefully will be done for moorpark! i also did it on a previous brown wool dress, with velvet ribbon as well, and it turned out quite nicely. so both options would work for your dress! flip a coin? ;-)
