And the 16th century embroidered camicia is ready to wear

Though I will make more embroidery, at least around the neckline, just not right now. I will take break from that and finish Valeria's white satin Eleonora di Toledo gown. After all the only part of the camicia that will be seen in public is the sleeves.

And she's at a party, so I'm posing in it.

  2. Thank you. I cheated by using aida and not counting the threads of the linen - my eyesight is not what it used to be. But teh mebroidery took a lot of time, and I'm not that keen on starting teh rest soon, because then it won't be wearable until I've finished with it.
