Knitted Bodice finished!

Finally, after months of struggeling with different yarns and sizes, I can now proudly wear my Knitted Bodice! I know, it's not as stunning as the original but I have to be honest, I can't defend a purchase of 9 skeins of pure silk plus frieght cost oversees from the U.S. to Sweden. I just can't. Allthough Tilli Tomas yarn "Rock Star" is to die for! However, the Silke Alpacka from Garnstudio is quite OK. I fell in love with the deep purple shade and I find the bodice quite wearable. Perhaps I will elongate the arms, they are a couple of centimeters too short.
