Reinstalling DS, converting things to Dawn and Diva and my experiments along the way

Hi, just wanted to let you know I'm still here. I'm kind of stuck for ideas on texturing the dress at the moment. I want to actually complete the texture before moving on with transferring to Dawn 2 and Genesis8f.

So in the meantime I've been painting an outdoor sofa that came from mum and dad's place and trying to tidy up my files on the computer.

Any ideas for how best to texture the dress are welcome.

Started to play with textures today. Didn't get very far as I got distracted. I took some photos of embroidery to use and in the process downloaded the photos from my phone which date back to pre covid. I started looking at photos of my cats and my parents including a few videos. So I got a bit nostalgic.
Anyway here's what I have so far...displacement on collar needs to be softened but I'm trying to give the impression of it being slightly thicker. As I said still needs lots more work and I have ideas for hems...fingers crossed they will work out.embroidery.
Seamless texture is a freebie from Baglet, it used to be up on ShareCG not sure if it's available anymore. It's hand-dyed wool using plants.
Embroidery is a photo of a hand embroidered mat that I own. I used multiply to get it to darken I'm not sure if I will do that or duplicate the embroidery and play with settings so it may end up a slightly different colour.
