gold silk taffeta reticule and accompaniments

donated by lmcbeth

Isn't the last thing you think about, while working on that fabulous costume for your big event, a bag? Here's one worthy of your finest fashions and, ready made! Just add an emergency sewing kit, a bit of cash, and your car keys!

This handmade reticule is shot silk taffeta that is a warm gold color with shimmer!

It is interlined with cotton, lined with ivory silk dupioni, the drawstring is made of the same silk taffeta, and the bag is trimmed with 5 lush tassels.

I am also including a cockade made with silk taffeta, ivory needlerun lace, and a heavy goldtone button in the center. This can be used to decorate the reticule or used to trim a hat so the two will coordinate perfectly!

Finally, a simple muslin drawstring bag is also included to protect the silk during storage or travel.
