The only issue is that I believe that wool and silk need to be dyed in a hot bath if you use the correct dyes for them.

Otherwise, it creates a horizontal band from outer arm to outer arm, making the person wearing it look considerably wider.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012221977603507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-31194132857565016552012-09-29T12:50:11.661-04:002012-09-29T12:50:11.661-04:00That Jonathn Saunders is uh-may-zing and I look fo...That Jonathn Saunders is uh-may-zing and I look forward to following along.

That way you could roughly cut the right size pieces for front/back & get the same depth of dye. You'd have to re-rig it at a different height for the sleeves. If you can get the right width on the dyed bands then you can cut the pieces exactly to place them perfectly. Gorgeous dress - I can see why you're keen.
