Description:
Be Queen of the Faire Forever
This is a hand embroidered replica underskirt panel -- a replica of a set worn by Queen Katherine Parr — the last wife of Henry VIII and one of history's most elegantly dressed women. Rendered in my 400 hours of painstaking goldwork on stain resistant black dupioni silk no one will out dress you if you wear this! Its also practical black already dosent show stains as badly and for this I used a stain resistant cloth!

About the work: Black dupioni silk was the canvas of queens. The contrast is dramatic, 600 hours of work!
This is the kind of piece that stops people mid-conversation.
