I don't know if any of you remember me talking about the safflower-dyed frock coat I was making for my husband for a Colonial Ball in October, but I've finally gotten pictures of him in it. They aren't the best (the light was really low, so the pictures are a bit blurry), but you can still get an idea of what the coat looks like. Here's the URL. Page down for the pictures of the finished coat:

Safflower Frock Coat

I'm seeing a friend who is a professional photographer this weekend and she'll probably take some better pictures of it for me. In these photos, you can't even see the hand-done buttonholes. :ph34r:

I would have to say your Husband is a lucky man!., The coat is sharp .,the photos do show off the liner a bit as well and it looks great as do the pants. A great piece of work.
