Add masked glamour to your stitching with this elegant lady portrait, framed by a dramatic black feathered masquerade mask and delicate scrollwork. The purple lips, soft eye makeup and tiny sparkle accents give it a distinctly dressed-up Mardi Gras feel without losing its refined look. It will suit anyone sewing for masquerade events, themed accessories or women’s garments that need a more decorative, feminine focal point.
With 7 thread colours and moderately dense stitching, it has enough detail to show off the plumes, ribbon ties and jewelled touches cleanly. It would sit especially well on the back of a satin bomber, a velvet evening wrap, a cotton tote or the front of a costume cape where the face can stay central and uninterrupted. The wide size range makes it easy to use as either a subtle accent or a full statement piece, and the black, pink, lavender and grey palette reads particularly well on pale fabrics or rich dark grounds.
