Pelisse regency

Some time ago I visited site of the Museum of London, and fell in love with piped pelisse ca.1823 from it's collection...and decided to sew it. So, as usual, I worked tirelessly during the whole week before Borodino %) Now, 57 meters of silk cord and many hours later here is my piped pelisse. It is nearly finished and I can be proud of it. It is sewn from fine "champagne" wool, decorated with silk braid, embroidered with silk "pipes" and twisted "emerald" wool. Waist fastens with hooks.
