As promised, here are some photos of me sporting the finished dress. I wore it to my Spinners Weavers and Dyers Guild AGM and it was a real hit!
With a little “help” from Pickle
This photo was taken while doing the final shaping, I think it is really interesting how the colour of the silk changes when wet (pieces at the top of the picture).
Great job Teri – looks like you got a good fit and the textures are wonderful. Pickle looks very helpful 🙂

Thank you Teresa, I just took a look at your blog and you have made some gorgeous felt, the toddler jumper is just darling!
Thank you Els, I am so happy with the colours! The photos really don't do justice to just how bright some of the blues are.
Thank you Nada, I love the textured shapes but think I might also try your suggestion of using prefelts under the silk on one of my next garments, I think we will see a similar raised texture but also a "halo" of wool coming the the silk at the edges.
