Those earrings are so ace. And just like everything I have acquired directly from someone else, be they a dealer or a friend, every time I wear them I think of the person I got them from. Yet another reason why second hand is ace

I have never seen drawn thread work in silk! I've done it in linen, and even the little design I did took forever.

Just wanted to comment on the petticoat - somewhere in my books I have a pattern similar to that, only it's a skirt not a petticoat, and it's Edwardian. Always interesting how fashion evolves!

This paletot is a real beauty! And asyou say: the collar! Reminds me of the beautiful illustrations of Hugo Pratt in his Corto Maltese bande dessinée. Just wonderful!
