The lapel, sleeve cuffs, button holes and buttons are all embelished with embroidery...

I was so excited to find this contest! What a great excuse to treat myself to a new outfit. This exposed me to several "firsts"... this is my first suit...the first time I have worked with linen... and my first time to cover shoes! Thanks to the latest issue of Threads Magazine, I was able to do a decent job of matching my shoes to my suit! It was a time consuming labor of love! I used Vogue pattern 8543 and embelished it all over with embroidery...including the shoes!

I think it is amazing, the embroidery is not over the top even if it is all over! Wonderful creation!
