lol Rachel! I didn't study your first one until after I posted mine and realised that was a piece of lace over her right shoulder as you correctly interpreted in your first colour!

I've done a few colourisations for this era and noticed the fashion was not to be symetrical

Oh rats Jenny !

It's certainly confusing and it 'kind of' looks as if there's something on her left but that sharp fold is a puzzle

Am trying to walk away from it (not very successfully) but would like to do some different colours and another tweak or two (unhappy with her skirt) but you know what it's like ~ the thread could go on forever !

I don't know whether I should be sticking my nose in here , but was just wondering......do you think it's possible the upper bodice area is just the same fabric as the main part of her dress, but made up with the reverse side of the fabric to the front? Like a satin type fabric one side and matt the other - ? To me the upper part of the collar looks the same depth of colour as the upper part of the bodice.

Having said all that, I've not zoomed in on the picture, so might be quite wrong!

Zoomifications !

Is that a pattern on her skirt ?
Does the whole outfit have a flowery pattern ?
I took it that the upper part of her collar and her cuffs are the same material
they have a slight sheen (I think)

IMHO I think that is a flaw on the original photo!

Excellent zoomifications though!!

Mmmmmm ~ very difficult to tell and the more you stare at it the more flowery stuff you can see !

Here's a quickie to give an idea of patterned fabric

I like post 28 the best so far, because the contrast between the lacy bit and the rest of the dress is less marked. Not sure about the patterned fabric though.
