What to do with this fabric!

[elensari]

Hello all,

I acquired this fabric this past fall, and I have no idea what to with it, so I am hoping you could help me out.

It is a light-weight wool embroidered with the vine pattern. The fabric is burgundy embroidered with green vines, silver leaves, and red flowers. I was originally thinking early bustle, like 69-71, but then I was thinking 1840's. I am open to anything, and I appreciate the advice.




Thanks!
Kelly

First thing I thought of was something late 90's early Edwardian......




but you always make amazing stuff, so whatever era you choose it will be gorgeous!!

Renaissance comes to my mind. But like Frank said, whatever you make will be beautiful!
