Pics of the IRCC dress

A photo shoot for the IRCC dress has been scheduled for next week, I am hoping to show off the changes I have made as well as the new ruffs and partlet keep your eyes on this space!

12th night

wore the IRCC dress to 12th night with the ruffs, new partlet and the new pearls sewn on. It's still not done but overall I am thrilled with the dress.

I have plans to finish the dress and get some more photos taken soon

Partlet embroidery!

Is Done!!!

and a close up of the design

Onward

still sewing pearls like mad to the sleeves and embroidering the partlet. Not much to show really. Sorry, but I am still working away!

new partlet

almost to the halfway point on the embroidery

rebeading the sleeves

I love my sleeves but I want to really make them pop

does this help?

on the right is the way the sleeve is beaded now, on the left the new way I am thinking of beading them. I was planning on the small clusters at the end of each diamond 4 in the middle- I'm also tossing around the idea of a small cluster at the bottom of the tail

Next

so the challenge is over but my work on this outfit isn't. I have so much I want to add to the dress, beadwork and embroidery. So keep watching this space more to come
