The idea is an 18th-century robe a la francaise in black, using the hot pink sari for the petticoat and stomacher and the black gown will be trimmed in hot pink.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m totally set on the pink action! The big inspiration came from the trim. It&#8217;s hot pink lace with sequins and was amazingly inexpensive. Then I got hot pink low-slub dupioni silk to back the sari (which is rather sheer) and to make ruched trim.<\/p>\n<p>But the <em>piece de la resistance<\/em> is the petite hot pink tricorn made by Jennifer, aka <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rubyraven.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Ruby Raven<\/a>.
