Doing the beadwork on Katie's wedding dress has been my beading focus over the past 2 and a half months. You've probably noticed photos of it in progress on my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. I'm really really happy about how the embroidered pieces turned out. Above is the focal pieces on the empire waist. (3 pieces all together).
The front of one shoulder.
The front of the other shoulder.
The back piece.
The back and should strands made me the most nervous, bead stringing isn't my forte. Luckily Katie and her mom came over one afternoon and strung beads for 4 hours or so, which helped a lot. Above isn't the greatest photo of the back, however, when the photos started coming through on Facebook yesterday evening, I was SO happy with how lovely the back and should strands turned out.
There was a lot of pinning and re-pinning.
At first I only made the shoulder pieces 4 inches long,
I had to add another 2 inches to each side.
Should piece in progress.
Katie said she'd share some of the real photos of her in the dress with me, so more to come on the final look of the piece. I wanted to get the details up before I forgot!
