It's probably referring to when we see it in episode one. I believe it looks darker then. I haven't watched Ep1 lately though, so I'm not sure. The darker colours also look a lot more wood-ish I think.

In episode 1 it's like a wood colour

Did anyone capture any photos of the costume when it was at CIII?

I saw some photos of it and seems to be something, criss-cross trimming or something on the front of the dress going all the way down. shock

Padme Andrea sent me this link to someone's costume photos from a LFL event and they have 2 photos of the front of this costume!! I've left a message in their guestbook asking permission to use them on my site. Hopefully they'll say yes. Anyhow - you can see the brooch clearly and that striping in the satin!!

Here's the whole album

and here are the photos of this costume:

photo 1

photo 2

If the above links to the photos don't work - they are on page 3 of the album.

Wow!

Wao, so much details on those pictures! The brooch is really lovely. It's quite incredible how the color looks too.

I sense another long long color argument coming grin

OMG I KNEW it, I KNEW there were seams or something on the front grin . I just made a version for a friends daughter and placed seams on the front. Now I need to find that decorative trim to put on it. THe color is reallllly weird in those pics though, I still like the lilac blue from the very first picture we saw of it, so thats what I will make my new one from (for me). The brooch is really pretty, and looks easy enough to make too happy .

Be warned, spoiler free types, that if you peruse the pics in the album Maggie linked to, there are some spoiley captions. Just a PSA from surlycorp.

It looks to me like the seaming on the nightgown isn't a regular seam with trim, but rather joined with a decorative (no snickers please) faggotting technique, or another heirloom stitch that creates the look of trim.
Ferd would be the go-to woman on that information...

Well looks like I might have to make another one later on...for now, no decorative trim and my seams are already at the side anyway, but the brooch I can easily remake. A nore about colour in the picture: if you look at the pearl strands, you can tell the colour is a bit off...

Wow! Those pics are great! I had always thought that the pearls were a silverish color- not the regular white or cream color of regular pearls... now I'm really regretting not picking up a few strands on sale at a local flea market a few months back... am I the only one getting teh silverish color vibe from them?

I'm getting the silver vibe as well. wink
That would explain why in some of the shots, the strands almost looked more like rhinestones than like pearls. Hmmm...may have to make a trip back to Claire's

The color of the dress, however, I think is off. There are just too many pics that give it more of a blue/lavendar hue.

Its interesting and odd how the seams go diagonally--or is that just how the dress is hanging?

Darn, I had my whole dress planned with no seams in the front... I doubt it will make too much difference really though, I could just put a trim on it to make it look like there are seams, or just ignore it. sad

I have to change so much! I'm keeping my white pearls though, because they look white in every other picture we've seen. But damn what am I going to do about those seams?
