Wow, those pictures are beautiful! I can wait a week. I've been taking french for almost four years, but sadly I still have a low reading level, probably about first or second grade. I tried reading a novel but it was really hard. T^T I love French so much though, I won't give up! I refuse to die until I can speak(and read) fluent French! ( I have strange goals lol) So the fur is called hermine? I thought it was called ermine. I've been looking for faux hermine fur and blue velvet with gold fleur de lys on it so I can make a copy of the coronation robes, but I might want to make a dress version that doesn't drag on the floor...I don't know. I like to make copies of clothes like that, but they're never very accurate because I like to add extra fancy stuff to them. I want to make a copy of a blue velvet frock coat worn by Louis XV, but it has gold embroidery so I'm trying to figure out how to do that, but I plan on adding lots of ruffles in the back that weren't in the original coat.
