I was having a try on this evening and decided to take some pictures. I still have to hem it, but it is otherwise finished.
Here is a closeup of the bodice.
The fabric is absolutely wonderful. I wish I had more of it!! It is reversible and I actually like the black side better, but it wouldn't be appropriate for a Regency ballgown. Here is a picture of the black side. The color is a bit off. It is true black and true silver as in the photo above.
