I've already sewn a tabletwoven band to my suspended dress but I am still unsure wheter or not to sew this tabletwoven band to my tunic.
Is this color scheme subtle ton-sur-ton or too subtle?

Go for the trim. I love it. What pattern do you use for your underdress?

Hi Harma,
Thanks, everyone says go for it. So I will probably sew it on when we are there. It's sure warm enough, so I can do without my overdress ;-). My underdress is the same pattern as the overdress, a simple birka style.
If the trim and the dress weren't both red, I might think it was too subtle. But red was a favored color in period, so I think red on red is just fine.
Hi Cathryn,
After a lot of internal debate and a lot of go for it's by my friends I finally decided to do it.
Unfortunately I didn't get to wear it this event, it was way to hot. So you have for a picture untill August. :-(
BTW Red is my favorite color too!
