Hmmmmm....Costuming, My *Precious*

[turdoken]

OK. I love anything east of Germany and and west of China, and since my true first love has always been costuming, I’m an Eastern Fop…No, seriously. My court caftans have just over 15,000 freshwater pearls sewn on them with room for 30-40,000 more without looking tacky….just overly opulent!

Lately, I’ve been working on an 8th century  Khazarian

"I’m also about to start engulfing my Lady’s new Moscovite Russian clothes with a sea of freshwater pearls and silver laidwork! I’m thinking foliate highlights on a geometric pattern."

Oohhh, drooool. What's the base color of the fabric?

Ivory satin on the sarafan and Kokoshnik / Venets & whatever fabric snaps with the shubka fabric!

Sounds like some gold foliate would really pop, then.
