This costume was hand-dyed (and then overdyed) to account for the natural-feel and patterning in the reference image. The embroidery on the shoulders and the pad-stitching on the back were done with a blend of Gold and Navy embroidery thread. The beading on the shoulder is Tila beads and seed beads. The scale detail is a version of triangular smocking.
