Here are the embroidered foresleeves, with jet glass ouches and the underskirt. Both are silk, embroidered in cotton. The underskirt features a motif inspired by embroidery on an extant 16th c. caul and and is beaded with 1mm and 2mm freshwater pearls.

I love Helane, and I love this commission, so there’ll be a lot to share over the course of the next day or two. I’m finally to the end of the line in the hand-embroidery and I’ve proceeded to the finishing touches (hand-hems, eyelets, hooks, etc.)...
