18th century waistcoat design and planning . . .

the design
the colours - possibly!

Here is the design, on a damask woven furniture fabric.  I want to create sumptuous, luxurious, richness - or that is my aim, anyway!  

 Techniques to be explored are silk shading, gold work couching, surface stitching, button making, etc . . .
