The question is, what should I line the overgown with? I was thinking silver but this far have yet to find anything that isn’t too shiny.
Why not a plainer grey nuance, and not “silver”-silver?
Or… this is radical, I know, but… black?
Or fur lined, like this!

Rust red could also give a cool effect, but it might limit the “useability” a tad?

I love the color and fabric!
As for lining…maye a silver dupinoi silk woudn’t be too shiney?
Before I even saw you say silver, I thought, “Silver!”. Can you find a more toned-down grey?
Either way, it’s looking smashing, Baby!
oh, my! want! Personally, I’d like it in something other than silver — like *teal* or *red* …..
