My ... Goodness. That is SO GORGEOUS! I can hardly imagine what the whole thing will look like when all the gold is added. It's so bright and ... gold! And then, the spangles... Aren't there spangles scattered here and there on the jacket? Or am I confusing jacket patterns? How long did it take to do this bit? And what's the stitching time estimate for all the gold on the jacket? Can you imagine trying to translate this type of work (I know it's impossible) into a decent hourly wage, and calculate the cost of the jacket?! Amazing work - beautiful, as usual! Oh… My … Goodness. That is SO GORGEOUS!

In full sun this will be blinding, they could probably land small planes with it as a beacon :) :) :). And we thought it glowed with the gilt sylke twist.
