So what do you think?
Here's a detail shot of the Revolutionary War era jacket with lacing. Is this pink ribbon too bright? It's really difficult to find pink ribbon that will match the skirt. This ribbon is a little brighter than the skirt, and I'm not sure a pink quite that bright would be authentic. Maybe I should have looked for lilac colored ribbon instead. What do you think?
I don't know about authentic, but that was my first thought when I saw the pic- woah, that ribbon is bright! I would try a different shade or a different color.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like it. It's so pretty and happy!
ReplyDeleteHmm, is the picture true to life? If it is, I think I might try for a different color, IMHO ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would go down a shade in brightness from the pink skirt. That is waaaaaay too bright! Cute though!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your help! I'll be on the lookout for something that will be a little less bright pink! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been there with the bright pink, and unfortunately got so many comments about how historically inaccurate my colours where. I think a lighter pink would work or maybe even a cream to match the background colour of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteMary, thanks so much for your advice! I ended up going with a lighter pink ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI love your jacket and skirt! You look very beautiful in all of your costumes! Thanks so much for the link to your website.
