Brunswicks are so much fun :)

and mine is so nearly finished!!! I've decided not to do the fur trimming after all, so all I have left to do is the lower sleeves and it's finished :) while I as all dressed up for a fitting I took a few teaser photos for you:





My Emmy-boo decided she needed to help, and then she decided she'd do a lion impression as well for good measure, silly old thing!



The only trimming it has is the gold silk lining in the hood and the buttonholes, and the fabulous buttons! they're casts of Roman coins! I'm imagining a brother or lover brought them home from the grand tour for me ;)

Love your back story for the buttons! That's such a pretty color.

Thank you! It's a very tricky colour to photograph, if I don't use flash it just looks brown, and yet with flash the ribs make my eyes go all funny!
