Pants for Dh'lon

Notes:
I had a commission from a farmer in my posting, a man named Dhelon from Benden Hold. By the time I completed the commission, I returned to Benden Hold to find that he was gone. Local residents said he had gone to the weyr, so I assumed they meant Benden Weyr.

Reaching Benden Weyr, I discovered that I was in error, and was told that the last hatching took place at High Reaches Weyr, so I made my way there. I found that Dhelon was now Dh'lon, and the transaction was made. The pants were sold for 10 marks, due to the fabric, workmanship, and adornments.

Description:
These beautiful pants were made just for Dhelon, and it is plain to see that a great deal of time and painstaking effort has going into their creation. The fine cotton fabric has been bound together with fancy whip-stitching and then submitted to a weaving and dyeing process created by Journeyman Weaver Duvetyne as an apprentice. The fabric has been overlaid with ornamental saddle-stitching of serpentine whorls and corkscrew twists, and and then dyed a light sky-blue. The blue is a deeper shade where the stiching occurs. At the tips and center of each whorl and twist is a deep midnight-blue rhinestone. On top of the whip-stitching is embroidered small red flowers and green leaves and vines, snaking up and down the seams.
