Mylar thread on Sheer Silk - picture of shirt

I wanted to post a picture of the complete shirt that gave me so much
GRIEF! I tried every suggestion offered for sewing metallic thread on
silk....and it was still a bear. Actually, it wasn't metallic thread
- I realized I mis-stated as it was really MYLAR thread. Sewing
strips of sheer silk like a mummy on the sheer silk shirt was
difficult enough without adding the edging in the fancy thread. Top
it off that it took literally days to "fray" the edges back to the
stitching line. Anyway, here it is.....the boy in the Blue/Green
mummy-type shirt in the upper right of the page.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

I got a *much* better look after I right-clicked on the
image and clicked "view image" on the resulting menu -- in
the larger image, one can actually see the 3D effect.
