A further back view of the forepart panel.	I decided upon a method of decoration. YAY! It will take a while, as I've decided to go with a few different elements. This is an extreme closeup in order to show both the pearling and the gold glass beads so far.
A closer view of the doublet bodice.	The entire gown, hopefully it will turn out alright when I have completed it. After nearly two years in random storage, I have scratched this project.  Maybe someday I'll get around to doing a grey one.
Shameless preening.. My wedding and engagement rings!! Yay! Aren't they pretty?	A decent shot showing the design that was stamped(?) on the fabric I used for my first partlet. It seems to be a gold slightly metallic type paint.
