Almost done

[mala_14]

I just have the hooks and eyes to sew onto the waistband and then the Gala gown can be officially done! So here are some very badly lit pictures I took the other day when I was trying it on to find out where I needed to put the hooks and eyes. I was lazy so I'm not wearing any petticoats. Also, please forgive the wrinkles on the silk skirt (which is also bustled up in these pictures because I got tired of picking dog hair off the underside of the train). It will get ironed one of these days.

This is so beautiful! Even without petticoats and in mostly silhouette :) I can't wait to see it!

Thanks Katherine! Hopefully I'll get some good pictures of it at CoCo.

Ooooh it's so pretty! Going to be smashing when all put together with petticoats!

Thanks! I also have some gloves, a neck ribbon, and purple earrings to accessorize. Oh, and a curly hairpiece that I still need to figure out!

The net overlay turned out really nice. Looks fabulous.

Thank you! I'm loving the cotton net. It was so easy to work with too.
