Fabric design with golden leaves as seen in the 'Phoenix' portrait of Queen Elizabeth I. (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth1_Phoenix.jpg) Even the size of the leaves should be correct (but that, of course, also depends on your body size!) - I calculated it from the five leaves that run down her arm in the portrait. In case you're not familiar with Spoonflower; note that this fabric is neither really embroidered, nor does it contain real goldwork. It's a printed fabric (printed with non-metallic inks) of which the design imitates embroidery and goldwork. Just found it safer to mention this ;-) If you plan to use it for a dress, I do recommend to glue or sew half pearls in between the cordings as seen in the portrait, to add depth to the fabric; but then again, that requires a LOT of pearls. I do recommend ordering this fabric in either the cotton silk (for a more shiny, satin-like look) or in cotton sateen (for a not-so-shiny look). This design is also available printed on many other products in my Cafepress store (http://www.cafepress.com/phantasmdesigns/10320315?aid=110890528)! If you were always wondering how different colors print on the various fabrics that Spoonflower offers, please do have a look at my website where I have quite a few comprehensive photos of color swatches printed on various fabrics!
