Opinions wanted

I’ve been looking at it so long I just don’t know anymore.

I wanted to whip all of the black outline with gold thread, which is kind of annoying to work with and I have to work in super short sections, but that’s manageable and not the point - after I finished the outer parts I’m not sure the effect is noticeable/pretty enough to continue the gold whip with the inner parts.

Do I embellish the black stitches with gold, or leave as is? How do you think?
