dressmaking again



I have not disappeared off the face of the earth; I have been dressmaking. Not a lot of time to make my own things while doing this. But now I am back making my own creations, so I hope to make a few updates to 5trillion.com soon.
This blue dress was made for a bridesmaid. I was shown a top that they (bride and bridesmaid) liked and wanted me to make a dress using the same design. The fabric was a little different and I had to sew the pattern into it by hand. I did this just by gathering up puckers in the dress and sewing seed beads on in a cluster. The photo doesn't really do it justice, it looked better in real life.
