I spent a lot of Friday morning playing with the chiffon sash for my bodice, and decided in the end that I HATED it. I had seen another bodice I liked with box pleat trim, and decided to copy that. Here's a photo of it just pinned on, but I have it all tacked on now with little seed beads. I also made some adorable fabric butterflies to attach on one shoulder. I'll get those done and a final bodice pic. I love how it looks!
I also found some great teardrop pearl trim that I will use on the overskirt as my white spots. And ordered a new chemise pattern for a ball gown chemise that is low cut, since the one I made is not working, even tucked in.
