I put the finishing touches on the gown, and am calling it done! I can't wait to do my photo shoot and get really good pictures of me wearing it. I want to make some kind of hair piece to wear, and ordered a few supplies. I had one pearl fall off the over skirt trim, and I stitched a new one in but it doesn't look so good. I think I can hide it in the ruffle though. Also some of the eyelet stitching in the back came loose when I laced the bodice, so I need to fix that. But I am really happy with how it came out. I wasn't wild about the green fabric initially, but after it all came together I love it. I think the little roses really helped the bodice to look more elegant.
