Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a strikingly posed Victorian figure in warm gold tones and rich cobalt blue. The 93 x 93 stitch count offers a manageable intermediate project, requiring 28 DMC thread colors to achieve the portrait's dimensional depth and flowing drapery.
The composition features a woman in period dress holding a decorative fan, her elegant stance emphasized by the jewel-toned palette of sapphire blue skirts contrasted against golden ochre fabrics and warm coral accents. Worked on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC color chart, this needlework project suits stitchers seeking a focused intermediate challenge. The finished piece makes an ideal framed accent for period-inspired decor, vintage-themed rooms, or as a thoughtful gift for cross stitch enthusiasts who appreciate historical fashion imagery and classical color harmonies.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
