Red and Yellow Tunic Dress – Now With Embroidery

This past weekend I was able to take some more photos of the Red and Yellow Tunic Dress with Angel Sleeves, which I was particularly happy about since I have added herringbone embroidery along all the edges.  Not only does it add a nice decorative element, but it will save me a lot of trouble when laundering by keeping the edges nice and crisp and preventing the two sides from getting out of alignment!  The red side is entirely edged with yellow floss, and the yellow side is entirely edged with red floss.  I used modern poly DMC embroidery floss for ease, price, and durability in the washing machine.
