Help! Which Trim?

[isabelladangelo]

I've been hand sewing some lovely brown cotton brocade into a mid 16th century side lacing Italian gown. The bodice I finished in the car on Thursday coming back from the beach. Yesterday, it was the skirt. Before I attach the skirt to the bodice, I want to add some trim but I'm not sure which one. I like the rose velvet with the brown brocade but is that too boring? The orange and cream looks nice as well. The pink with gold is a bit thin but it looks cute on it's own. So which one?

Mmm... pink and gold. From the picture/monitor, the rose is too bright/hot, and the orange and cream just seems to sit on the surface without doing anything.

Thanks!

I agree. Judging by what I can see of the shades via my computer screen.

It looks the pink/gold is the winner. There was no love for the rose on the board I posted it to as well. :-)

Via the picture I am drawn to the pink and gold.
You say you like the rose one which makes me wonder if it shows differently in person. It shows as too modern to me.

It's a deep rose velvet in person and looks like silk velvet even though it's rayon. Of course, those never photograph well.

But it looks like the pink/gold is the winner thus far!

Lol! 2 pink, 1 orange. No love for the rose.
