Wow Watson, you certainly stepped up to the challenge working with those fabrics! But the end result is quite breathtaking with that big silver star. I can't imagine working with that stuff to make the binding. Lame's are a royal pain to work with no matter what but to make a binding out of it, ugh.
If you do decide to make one for yourself, look into using Silk Radiance (a cotton silk blend) or silk dupioni. You get the shimmer from the silk without all the headaches of synthetic metallic fabrics.
