Compare Holi's sleeve to her overskirt and you will be able to tell just how successfully I was able to use DMC cotton floss to fake the Gloriana silk perle overdye from the skirt to the sleeves. Probably I should have used the lightest green shade as background behind the fancy stitches on the sleeve but I like how it turned out so I left it. You probably can't see much of the Kreinik overdyed metallic that made big + shapes with a gold bead in the center all over the pattern but in person they add a lot of sparkle.My next step is to figure out what colors (probably apple green and reds) to use on the bodice. The original model is visible on this page to see what this looks like in the original blue, gold and white color scheme.
