almost there!
The Erte is going very well. If I wanted to stay up super late I could finish it tonight but I have church in the morning so I don’t think I shall. I’ll finish up tomorrow afternoon.
I ended up cutting the border off. It was the easiest thing to do and I consoled myself with the thought that if I hated it I can always re-do it later. In the end I like it, definitely livable and with 19 days until CC (with the entire Bee ensemble left to make) something besides my sanity has to give. :>
I just tried on the dress for a double check and to mark the belt for hooks & bars and everything looks good. I need to shorten the tunic a bit. Without the border it looks better shorter. B and I also decided the bottom of the tunic needed something to weight it down a bit (both visually and literally) so I pulled out some black sequined trim from the stash and will at that to the hem. I’ll draw it into the dress by putting it along the top of the belt as well. B had the great idea of adding a cluster of sequined flowers to the collar as a finial touch and I totally agree. I don’t want to overwhelm the beautiful fabric but a little subtle pizzazz is in order. *wink*
This dress has really come together – I’m so happy! It looks just right, especially with the shoes, gloves and hat. I feel like a little porcelain doll – nothing like a hobble skirt to make you feel dainty! :>
Thanks for all your votes and comments! Those of you who choose ”c” – you are stinks! But I love you, thanks for the laugh. :>
