Wow some more amazing costumes , well not as amazing as TDK of course ;) , but still worth a look!
Love the Mummy costumes! They`re so fascinating and interesting!

The embroidery on the black Asian outfit was beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you notice that it's incredibly three-dimensional and realistic looking. That's because it's chenille! I really hope whoever made this got to use a machine, because I can't imagine having to do all that work by hand!
The embroidery is gorgeous! So traditional! But actually many of these are done by hand too and they are obviously more expensive. But machines have made quite a difference ;)

Thanks for sharing olde! Loved both the posts ! Very interesting! :D
