Still chunkin' away at the triangles and dress trim, but needed a bit of break and thought I'd get started on the entari. Cut out the black linen and then started eye-balling the gray silk that will be the lining.
The plan is thus - Cut most, if not all of the edging off and move it front opening, around the neck and maybe the bottom;
use the striped part of the silk for the sleeves
and for the top of the lining; 
It may seem odd to have the silk inside the linen, but structurally, it makes sense. The silk is pretty fine and while the linen isn't monstrous, I think it would hang really weird. Plus, I really like the look of the black with the gray and silver accents
I love, Love, LOVE the silk! And I know it will look amazing with your skin tone. I have a similar project to do with a sari but am turning it into an 11th cent. Byzantine tunica. The Arn Hold costume Goddesses helped me figure out which peices to use where! I think the flash idea is going to work out really well, and I think you are right about the linen. You are so far along! I'm jealous =)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased at the progress of the entari, didn't think it would go together as well as it has. Now all I have to figure out is the silly accessory.
