Thanks guys for your input, there were great suggestions.

I feel like this is my "Silvia" Marvin. I contacted a costume lady for the colors of Dior in the early 1950's and have researched things like crazy.

The reference is a large 10 x 14 print, but it doesn't matter since I've scanned it for my monitor.

I will do a smaller scale color study and this should help a ton, I do think I would like to keep her head at 7" or under since it is a full seated figure, with a very large dog.

To actually keep it this size I think I would have to go 46 x 39 or smaller I figured 34 x 29 (sorry I am not sure if my math is exact yet).

To go this large, would you go to a linen panel? Doesn't stretched linen become a trampoline?

And an extra thanks for the copyright disclaimers, those were great!

Kim because of the google thing, I can't say... you can pm me.
