Partlet Question and Poll

[isabelladangelo]

The partlet edging at the neckline is clearly gold but I'm not sure about the edging along side the blue ribbons. It looks like that might be silver. Thinking back to when I saw it 3 years ago, I think it was silver but I'm really not sure. Anyone else think it's silver? Or is it just the way the light is reflecting off of gold? Any other ideas?

[Poll #1188760]

Either way, I'm sewing the blue ribbon down on the edges using either gold or silver thread to get the edging look. :-)

Looking at a pic in La Moda, the ribbon is a bluish colour... could be a tarnished silver??? as suggested. there is a definate silver line on the netting (between the gold loops)
On the right (actual) shoulder the lighting is different and has a bluish tinge and the netting... so I would be thinking this could be used on the ties to show lighting as well???
Having said that, and looking again...
the tie appears to be one length that loops 'u' bend through the left (actual) side ofthe collar. Here the tie is a different colour to the silver on the netting- a more purply blue on the tie....

hmm.. fat lot of help really....

At this point, I think I might do a couple of test samples. I'll lay a couple of pieces of ribbon down with the gold edging and a couple of pieces of ribbon down with the silver. Which ever looks "closer" will win.

sounds like a plan!
