Not so restelss

Apparently spending 20-30 minutes lying in boiling water scented with cinnamon and something else (couldn't work it out), listening to good music and reading a good book is something ideal for wearing me out. ... I am also impressed that I managed to type most of that whilst yawning, with my EYES SHUT! (no mistakes  :P)

Not too bad really.

 

The dress is a beautiful dance dress officially.... layered and a velvet pattern pulled through the main material of the dress  - any sewing person will understand that concept, but I don't know the right word for it. It needs a lot of work. Most of the bead/sequin detail has come off, but it is not essentail to replace that. However, it also needs adjusting along the seems across the hips, fortunately I just need to take it in a little... it would also be good to oversew a few seems where the material has pulled against a too coarse thread.... Sorry that the pictures are rotated around.

 Going to have fun finding a bra that fits the back of the dress...

 Example of the detail on the train... velvet against almost transparent somethingorother... blue black - photo does no colour justice

 Still no justice done to the colour

 

Going to have fun with this one, particularly when it is taylored properly. :D
