here is a better photo of skirt put it back on frame for a while.

I love how that skirt looks! You can just about see it twirling! And the bling is perfect for giving it that extra special look. Can't wait for the next update!

Love it! I am enjoying seeing this grow

The dress is so effective, you can really see the fold and creases in the fabric. Can't wait to see more of it.

Another gorgeous Joan Elliott design!!! Great update on it!!!

That skirt is beautiful, very effective!

I have stitched the bodice of the dress. Was a bit worried about the colour change from the skirt but it lokks great.

Beautiful stitching

beautiful work

here is my latest update. Don't like doing faces but could not wait to see what she looked like.
Now a question for you ladies, there is a lot of beads to sew on this project and I have always thought that you should attach the beads at the end but I have been told that you can attach them as you go along. What do you think.
Rags to riches is now going to be a Christmas present not going to get it done in the next 2 weeks.

She is looking beautiful i have always added beads at the end but it is entirely up to you.

She looks beautiful and will be a perfect Christmas gift. Since I usually leave the beads off of a project that calls for them, I can't tell you what works best. I think if I was using a hoop or q-snaps I'd probably do the beading last.
