After pictures...

Here are a few 'after' pictures of the dress I mentioned a while back (kinda slow on the reporting here... not to mention my photography skills are still lacking..)

Anyway-
We have sleeves and an over all more modest dress. When I took these pictures the lovely bride had not yet found her perfect sparkle to replace the old 'bling' that used to be front and center, but she will, I'm sure of it. (and even if she doesn't, it's much nicer plain than with the cheesy thing that was there before :)







If you look at the back there ^ the top two loops for the lacing are added by me, along with the backing underneath to bring up the neckline 2 1/4 inches. Here's a close up of that...



The dress was also too long, so I used the extra fabric to make the sleeves.

Anyway. That's one project! I find lately that I'm so busy actually doing projects I forget to take before pictures, or pictures at all....

Though I guess every hem or little thing like that might not be too interesting to see anyway.

But I'll still try to document better...
