Ooh, here's a little teaser of my untrimmed fabric. The beads are actually gunmetal gray.
It just begs to be framed and hung on a wall.
And here are 30 pictures of the dress in different light. I've sewn the center front together and just started felling the seam at the bottom.
Then I noticed that the seam pulls to the right from the knees down - gotta undo that and fix it.
Ignore the royal blue dress form covering - I gotta do something about that, too.
And I finally got my sewing machine back from the shop after breaking a needle attaching Dean's cuffs to his Kwik Sew fleece jacket, so I finished that today too.
The pics are really lightened up to show the details.
So I really think I can get this dress finished in time for Mardi Gras one month from today. Off to straighten a seam!

Wow! That dress is fantastic and the gunmetal beading makes it a bit edgy too. Perfect for Mardi Gras or any other event, really! Yeah, on the polar fleece jacket -- I must admit I find sewing on polar fleece a bit frustrating -- it's easy to throw your sewing machine out of whack with that thick fabric!
Stunningly gorgeous. .. impressive work.
Your dress is absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you, ladies! I think it'll work out...back to beading!
Beautiful! Memaw would love it....you could make her Eastern Star gowns!
Uh oh, does this look like a Mamaw gown?! Jim said something similar about it looking younger in person than in pics....hmmm.
Just Wow!
Beautiful!!!

I owe my progress to you, Bianca!
Thanks, Robbie!
No, I meant how some of her gowns had pretty detail. :)
