He prefers the company of men. Who doesn't?

I'm still not giving up on embroidery and beading for the wedding gown, but in talking with Dinesh lately, I went ahead and bought him out of this trim.

He had several that I'd love to get, but I really have to focus on just wedding spending right now. He's sending me a sample of a sage green trim in this same pattern, so we'll see. He gave me a bit of a discount since I bought all three pieces that he had in the above ivory and gold color. I got 7.5 yards for $75 + $4.95 S&H. That's a little cheaper than he usually lists these for, so I'm happy with that. I could do what I'm planning with the belt and the armbands with just one of the pieces (2.5 yards, probably much less actually). But then I thought I could make a mantle to go with the wedding gown out of either a pale silver or stark white silk velvet.

I really fell in love with this trim too, but he didn't have any of it left (hence why he's sending me a sample of the sage green color, so I can see if it's similar and get it as well). *sigh* Again, if I had $300 to spend right now, Dinesh would get every penny!

But this relieves some tension about finishing the beading/embroidery in time.

yep, it was the closest to the one Yvette posted a few months back. Her's has some pale green where this one has grey. If I use it on the wedding gown, I'll toss in a few of my colored flower beads to get my color scheme in there a little more.

I wish I could buy them all up! They're so gorgeous!

Yes, that one does look very close to the one I bought, and put photos for you a few months back... Very pretty! :) I want to go check into his site, but have enough on my plate right now... I've spent hundreds on his stuff... very bad me... ;D
