Elizabethan Dress

Kitty (Costume Design, Figure Drawing, and Costume Period History teacher, as well as mentor) asked me to finish trimming and beading this gorgeous Elizabethan gown that she had someone make for her classes. I still have to find the right sequins to finish sewing the pearls on the skirt, but I have finished the trim and have started beading the stomacher.

Here's the stomacher. You can kind of see some of the beading that I've started...


Here's a close-up of the first flower finished:

I've realized that I suck at taking non-blurry photos. But the flash totally screws up the colors of the fabrics, and so I am stuck with what available light there is. Oh well...
