Piped pelisse from the Museum of London, ca.1823

Some time ago I visited site of the Museum of London, and fell in love with piped pelisse ca.1823 from it's collection...and decided to sew it.
 





So, as usual, I worked tirelessly during the whole week before Borodino %)
Now, 57 meters of silk cord and many hours later here is my piped pelisse. It is nearly finished and I can be proud of it. 




It is sewn from fine "champagne" wool, decorated with silk braid, embroidered with silk "pipes" and twisted "emerald" wool. Waist fastens with hooks.

      What a nice pelisse, Nereida!
      That is one more example of how different is the look of the same dress made by different people!)

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful reproduction! I love the soft cream colour you used, it's really lovely. I'm about to start on my own reproduction of this pelisse, and your work is a great inspiration!
