<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 27639, member: 56"]I think the phrase is "couched gold thread". And if I understand that correctly, it means that the gold thread is laid on the black silk and held in place with tiny stitches. The robe should have closures of some kind. Maybe they're just missing. Does the it close down the front, or does it wrap around to the side?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a challenge, but one that will help with the selling: Look at Chinese robes online - bufu and jifu - and see how they are laid out for photography, with the garment closed, arms outstretched and the skirt flared. Can you do that front and back?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
