Peacock Elizabethan - Beading details..

So I've finished beading one half of one of the sleeves for the gown and as promised, here are the pictures of the brown underskirt forepart I'm going to use instead of the ugly gold one.

Check out all of those real turquoise pretties! Along w/pearls and other beads.

The forepart itself w/the diamond cutouts - I made this a year or so ago to go with another gown that I need to redo. It's too pretty to NOT use on this one! 

Look! I finished pearling one HALF of one sleeve. *headdesk*

Pearling takes entirely too long....
