Silk Trimming



So, I haven't posted in a while (shame, shame), but I have worked on the costumes. I have most of Justin's doublet together, and that's the one I'm trimming in silk. The edging is just a bias strip of silk, notched wherever I feel like notching it (something like a half inch apart).

For Justin's doublet, I'm using a microsuede from Home Dec. It's working marvelously, although it's pretty stiff. Because it's so heavy, I'm not interlining it. So far, it hasn't melted from the iron once, and it makes a nice crisp edge too. The part of the costume in these pictures is a shoulder wing, lined with linen.
