Trim!

I have the two pieces of trim for the arms done.



Trim with Dress Fabric

And a closer look:



At my fitting last Monday I held a piece up to the dress, and it looks awesome! The trim is made using an off-loom technique call 5-bead netting and really quick and easy to do. It takes about an hour and a half to to 18" of trim. I'm using size 11/0 glass seed beads for the trim which are larger and rounder than the Delicas I'm using for the girdle. The gold beads on both pieces are actual 24 carat gold plated glass and look like solid gold beads.

Yvette says the dress is almost done, the last thing she needs to do is the hem!

Today I'm going to work some more on the girdle. I've been really slacking on it lately.

Later!
