I finished trimming my 18th century stomacher tonight. I sewed on some fine lace, and the attached ruching in a 3 tiered figure eight. 4 pinwheels then decorate a few remaining spots on the dress. I need a second opinion: should I add on any more pinwheels? I see two spots that could be covered up, but I don't want to overdo the trim. So far I like the overall effect, though I think I would be happier if the last tier of the figure eight weren't so circle like...
What do you all think?
The stomacher trim was inspired by this original garment.

Wow... it looks amazing honey! As far as what to do, is there really such a thing as too much trim on these sorts of dresses?
