I finally finished the beading on the top (except for the upper band)! I got to move on to the lower half last night.
I decided to pin it onto my dressform this morning for a better picture. My dressform is currently at the lowest measurements for getting things off and on easier, so she’s a little (ok a lot) smaller than I am right now, causing the dress to look a little too big, but it’s still a better picture than laying flat in front of a window.
You can see some of the lower elements I started working on last night over on the right side. This weekend… more of the same. Having an estate sale at my grandmother’s house tomorrow so I will probably pack up a smaller box of work pieces to take with me and hopefully maybe get a lot done?
