Stumped by Gilderoy

[apollinav]

Haaaalp!   Gilderoy stumped me!  (Man, is that embarassing to admit.)

Okay my crafty friends, does anyone know how to answer this one?

On Movie!Gilderoy's duelling vest there is a gold embroidered emblem over his heart.  It is about the size of the palm of my hand.  It features a large 'G,' capped by a crown, and the crown, of course, features little hearts.  (Awe.)

Bugger if I know how to make one.

If you can name it, I've tried it.  Embroidery hoop with gold floss, by hand.  Embroidery hoop with gold thread, by machine.  I've also searched everywhere for something sorta-kinda-ish-if-you-squint mass manufactured appliques - nothing close.

Suggestions?

Here's the duelling vest.  The dummy it's on has breasts, but the vest is fitted for me -without breasts.  So the dimensions look a bit 'off.'



All help is appreciated.

EDIT:  Woot!  Problem solved.  Thanks flist!

Mah breasts got cinched in an Elizabethan corset, to make me more mannish.

I tried something close to that, only it looked...um... amatureish. Has everything to do with my skill level. Although appliqueing on a heavier fabric than what I used, might work.

The original is thin and delicate, which I don't have the skills for. But maybe a big 'blingin' G wouldn't be so bad either. It is Lockhart.

Too right!

(I just have to figure out if I'm dying the hair, or going to ressurect the blond Ken doll wig I found for $7)

I think I have an answer on the patch.
