Michael,

You're a good sport. It takes courage for most men to step into a lingeree department.

You'll do just fine, I'm sure, with your next commission. May I suggest you get a hold of the only book available on William MacGregor Paxton. I got mine at my local library, there was only one in the entire state. If you have an all state library system similiar to ours you may be able to locate one. There is one available, I believe on Alibris, but it is quite pricey, as this beautiful book is no longer in print.

The reason I am suggesting this is he did a similiar painting. He had a 90's dress made and did a painting of it. It was interestingly enough, green satin. It might be worth a look.

I hope this helps.
