The Silk Taffeta Elizabethan... Update!

Yep, still working on this one. I'm beading and beading and beading! Still not finished. However, I moved the front of the skirt again and reattached so it's now at a point I like! Here are some pics!

I just keep adding more and more to this gown...

So today as I was fixing the skirt and pinning the forepart to the underskirt,  I decided that the taupe trim just wasn't enough and that I had to do something with it! So here are the current update pics, finishing with a peek at the neckline trim and its beading. Yep, more beading. :)

So far, so good!

There you go folks! I'll try to take more pics as I progress. I'm mostly finished...just a lot of beadwork ahead. I have to do the beading on the skirt and figure out some kind of trim to add to the edge of the skirt. :)
