AMINTA STUFF
Admittedly I have looked better in pictures.... The skirt has also looked better, as the last flounce is only pinned on, and only partly... But I needed to try the Aminta dress on today, to decide on an eventual additional flounced/scalloped layer in the skirt. I DEFINITELY need another layer, I can tell you that much!
Shall I go for the white flounced engageant in the first picture? I like the idea of adding something white to this costume. It's much in sync with the costume design, and it also gives the dress a more delicate look.

I also like the in-between versions on stage, which use both white and black/golden lace:

But I think that'll give my sleeves a rather massive look... So I would probably have to go with one colour. Which one? Cream/white, as in the first picture above, or a golden/black one? Opinions are most welcome!
